• WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán says he has been told he cannot enter the ring for the ceremony and publicly vowed to go up anyway, citing event restrictions tied to the organizers.
• Canelo defended using elite sparring partners Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Yoenli Hernández after criticism from Teddy Atlas, saying he needs opposition as good as his opponent to prepare.
• Netflix will stream the main card exclusively to subscribers without extra pay-per-view charges, while prelims are set to air on Tudum and partner YouTube channels for UFC and WWE.
