Eddy Reynoso, the head coach of Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, exploded against ESPN journalist David Faitelson, whom he called “toxic” for assessing the fight between his student and Turkish Avni Yildirim for the super-middleweight World Boxing Council title ( WBC) which took place on the night of Saturday, February 27 in Miami.
“There are” TOXIC “people in sports journalism and you !! Like ch …, nothing else suits us c … !!, Reynoso wrote on his personal Twitter account in response to the tweet that Faitelson had made a few minutes before.

The famous ESPN journalist had written on his Twitter account that “Saúl Álvarez @Canelo and Eddie Reynoso @CANELOTEAM acted with betrayal and advantage”. And then he continued his analysis referring to the fact that “they knew about the great shortcomings of the Turk Yildirim and agreed to enter the ring with him. The result, an embarrassing show for a sport like boxing “.
Faitelson remarked that “Canelo doesn’t need him.”
A little over 30 minutes later, the reaction from Reynoso appeared, who, together with his most important disciple, is not the first time he gets involved in controversies with the Mexican journalist.
Reynoso apologized in his tweet for using ugly language and ending it with “Viva México”.
Canelo kept the £ 168 WBC and WBA belts in the playoffs against the mandatory challenger at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
