Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, didn't hold back. He said he wants to fight the winner of Canelo's upcoming bout with Terence Crawford.
"Canelo has never been knocked down, and I have the punch," Bad Bunny claimed. His words quickly spread across social media, catching the attention of boxing fans and his own followers alike.
While it might seem out of left field, Bad Bunny is no stranger to sports. He's often seen at NBA games, follows the NFL, and has even made waves in WWE. His performances in the wrestling ring surprised many pros with his skills, discipline, and commitment.
Canelo, meanwhile, is gearing up for his September 12 showdown with Crawford in Las Vegas. The Mexican champ hasn't responded to Bad Bunny's challenge. He's likely focused on his upcoming fight and maintaining his record of never being knocked down.
Bad Bunny didn't stop at challenging Canelo. He also fantasized about facing boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Julio Cesar Chavez. He painted a vivid picture of these imaginary bouts:
"It would be 15 rounds, both of us bleeding. It could be in Puerto Rico or Mexico. It would be epic."
The singer shared these thoughts during a casual dinner with his producer Tainy and streamer Ibai Llanos. While it's all talk for now, Bad Bunny's challenge has certainly got people talking.
