In a shocking turn of events following his unanimous decision loss to Canelo Alvarez, Edgar Berlanga has accused the Mexican boxing champion of using banned substances during their fight on September 15, 2024. Berlanga, who suffered his first professional defeat in this bout, has presented what he claims is evidence of Canelo’s doping, suggesting that the victory was not earned fairly.

According to Berlanga, suspicious circumstances during the fight and pre-fight testing have led him to believe that Alvarez may have violated anti-doping regulations. He is now calling for the result of the match to be overturned, citing potential unfair advantages gained through the alleged substance use. Berlanga’s legal team is expected to push for a full investigation by the appropriate boxing authorities and request that the result be annulled pending further examination.

Canelo Alvarez’s camp has yet to respond to the allegations, but fans and analysts are divided, with some expressing disbelief at the claims, while others are calling for transparency in the matter. The boxing world is now watching closely as this controversy unfolds, with the potential to cast a shadow over Canelo’s storied career.

If proven, this scandal could significantly impact both fighters’ legacies and raise broader concerns about performance-enhancing drugs in the sport.
