“Knock Him the F*** Out:- Rapper Pitbull to Canelo Alvarez
In a span of just over two months (69 days), Canelo Alvarez will fight for the second time, as he gears up to defend the WBC and WBA 168 lbs belts against Avni Yildirim on February 27. It is obvious that the P4P king is the favorite on paper, as many fans believe that he will outpoint Yildirim. One of these fans includes the popular rapper, Pitbull.
However, ‘Mr. Worldwide’ isn’t going to be content with a mere decision win akin to how ‘Canelo’ beat Callum Smith. Instead, the ‘Give Me Everything’ singer wants to see Alvarez beat ‘Mr. Robot’ via knockout.
Seconds Out has revealed some glimpses of the fight camp, especially from Alvarez’s gym. Here, the P4P king was engaged in his training regime before he interacted with the rapper via face-time. The chat turned out to be a piece of advice, as Pitbull spoke out his heart out before Canelo Alvarez.
He said, “Knock him (Avni Yildirim) the fu** out.”
To this statement, Alvarez replied, “Yes sir!”
