Mexico–Puerto Rico boxing rivalry

The rivalry between Puerto Rican and Mexican boxers is recognized as one of the most intense in boxing history.[1] Originating in 1934, this rivalry has been watched by fans across multiple generations. Over the years, both nations have raised numerous fighters who have competed in boxing matches against each other including Julio Cesar Chavez, Fenix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, and Hector Camacho. It has said to have started when Sixto Escobar became the first Puerto Rican champion by knocking out Mexican champion Rodolfo "Baby" Casanova.[2]

In world title matches, Puerto Rican boxers hold a slight statistical advantage over their Mexican rivals,[3] with Puerto Rico achieving 84 wins compared to Mexico with 73 wins.

The most recent major boxing fight between a Mexican and Puerto Rican boxer was a 12 round bout between Canelo Alvarez (Mexico) and Edgar Berlanga (Puerto Rico), which took place on September 14 2024 with Canelo winning by unanimous decision continuing the rivalry.
