Canelo Álvarez has surprised all of his fans. This time it wasn't for his performance in the ring, but for his human warmth. He responded to a call for help from a young Mexican boxer who was looking to raise funds to represent the country in an international competition. The champion from Guadalajara assured him that he would cover all the necessary expenses so he could travel.
The gesture quickly went viral on social media, where users and celebrities applauded the boxer's action. We tell you how the support for Josué Zepeda happened and what the reaction of the internet users was.
¿Por qué Josué Zepeda pidió ayuda para representar a México?
Through Instagram, the young boxer Josué Zepeda, originally from Baja California, shared a video explaining that he had been called up to represent Mexico in the U-19 Boxing World Cup, which will be held in Budva, Montenegro, from October 14 to 28, 2026.
However, he explained that the news saddened him a little, as he and his family had to cover the travel expenses, so he needed to raise approximately 80,000 pesos before next August 21.
"I need 80,000 pesos and for this I need your help. My name is Josué Zepeda and I represent the state of Baja California. I want to share some news that, while it fills me with a lot of pride, also saddens me a little, since I have just been called up to represent Mexico for the third time, this time in Budva, Montenegro, from October 14 to 28. The bad news is that we have to cover all the travel expenses and it would be a total of approximately 80,000 pesos. To cover these 80,000 pesos, we have a deadline of August 21. I want to ask for all your support; any donation will be very welcome. I hope to count on your help and that you share this video. Thank you all very much."
