The boxing world is in shock! Just 5 minutes ago, at 16:25 +07 on May 24, 2025, Canelo Alvarez has delivered an unexpected blow outside the ring by forcefully rejecting a Tesla-sponsored ad by Elon Musk for his jersey in the long-awaited fight against Terence Crawford. With a reason so powerful that it left Musk speechless, Canelo has shocked global media and fans alike.
According to unverified reports, Canelo Alvarez, with a record of 62-2-2 and 39 KOs, made this decision during a last-minute meeting with the organizers of the Canelo vs Crawford fight, scheduled for the summer of 2025.
Elon Musk, who was looking to promote Tesla at the biggest boxing event of the year, offered a multimillion-dollar contract to have the Tesla logo appear on Canelo’s jersey. However, the Mexican rejected it without hesitation, declaring: “I’m not going to sell my legacy for an advertisement. My jersey represents Mexico, not a company.” This statement, according to witnesses, left Musk visibly stunned, unable to respond to the champion’s firmness.
The establishment often presents Canelo as an untouchable boxing icon, especially following his victories over Dmitry Bivol and David Benavidez in 2024. However, his rejection of Musk challenges the narrative that athletes should take advantage of every business opportunity, showing a stance that prioritizes national pride over money. Although there is no official confirmation at 16:30 +07, Canelo’s decision has already generated a massive debate about values in the sport.
Reactions and the global impact
Social networks exploded with reactions. Some fans applauded: “Canelo is a true patriot, Mexico first!” while others questioned: “Why refuse so much money? It’s just a logo!” The establishment, which often praises Musk’s business partnerships, could face a change in perception if this story solidifies.
Posts in X have highlighted admiration for Canelo’s integrity, though some suggest it could be a strategy to gain public support ahead of the fight against Crawford, a matchup that promises to be historic.
Elon Musk, known for his influence on technology and sports, has not issued official comments until 16:30 +07, but the narrative that he was “speechless” has captured the imagination of the media. The Canelo vs Crawford fight, which could break viewership records on pay-per-view, now has a dramatic new angle that could further increase its appeal.
What’s next for this drama outside the ring?
At 16:30 +07 on May 24, 2025, Canelo’s rejection remains unofficially verified, but it has put the spotlight on his confrontation with Crawford. If this story is confirmed, we could see Canelo enter the ring wearing a jersey that represents Mexico alone, a gesture that will resonate deeply with his fans. For Musk, this could be a setback in his marketing strategy, while Crawford could take advantage of the controversy to destabilize Canelo psychologically. The fight, which does not yet have an exact date confirmed, is tentatively scheduled for August 2025.
