David Faitelson is always commenting on the controversies surrounding sport, so he did not miss the opportunity to talk about what happened with the fight between Omar Chavez and Misael Rodriguez, which was canceled more than a month ago, which gave much to talk about.
The cancellation of the boxing match, which was to take place in October, led the journalist to go against Julio Cesar Chavez‘s family, but a few hours ago he apologized to the legend and his family.
Faitelson explains the situation with Julio Cesar Chavez’s son’s fight
The sports commentator explained that the weight agreed upon by Chavez was not met, so they did not want to expose Rodriguez, so he demanded that they be more responsible.
Dear Julio Cesar Chavez: Robert Garcia assures that there was a weight agreed after the weigh-in. He says that Omar Chavez did not comply with that clause or agreement and that, according to him, it was dangerous to expose Misael Rodriguez. No one judges your children for their past, but it is time for them to take responsibility for their lives and actions.
Faitelson added: “Let your children be responsible and independent, because the day you are not there, they will have to make their own decisions.”
Faced with this, the Mexican boxer did not hesitate to respond to Faitelson and lashed out at him, in addition to denying what was said by the journalist and assured that his son Omar complied with what was established.
David, I’m very surprised that you always fuck with the rehydration clauses. Omar gave 168 pounds as the established weight and they argue that he weighed 90 kilos after the weigh-in without any basis. So with all due respect don’t talk bullshit without foundation and without research, now it turns out that a boxer has to weigh exactly what his opponent wants on the same day of the fight? Do not judge my children for their past, that is not fair and I will not allow it.
David Faitelson apologizes to Julio Cesar Chavez and admits he was wrong
This Friday, November 22, David Faitelson wrote through his X account a public apology to Julio Cesar Chavez, as well as his family accepting that he was wrong with what was said above.
I want to send a hug to the great Julio Cesar Chavez… A few weeks ago, in the midst of a boxing controversy, I was completely wrong in saying, more or less, that he was not my friend. I am completely sorry for saying that. It’s a lie. Julio has always been there during a relationship of more than 35 years, where he has always shown me his love and support. He is a good man. I apologize (as I have already done personally) to him, to Miriam, his wife and also to his sons Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Omar Chavez
