Ferro’s Enzo Hoyos Says Viral ‘Overweight’ Image Was AI-Edited

The new signing reports only a minor weight variance that counters a viral misattribution.

Overview

  • An altered photo on X depicted a Ferro player with severe weight gain during preseason and quickly spread across social media.
  • Early posts wrongly named recent arrival Franco Miritello before reports identified the subject as Enzo Hoyos.
  • Hoyos told club media the picture was edited, said he laughed at it, and vowed to answer by playing, noting he arrived just two or three kilos over target.
  • The episode was amplified by fans, parody accounts, some outlets, and influencers including La Cobra and DJ Mariio.
  • Ferro continues preseason for the 2026 Primera Nacional, with Hoyos training under Sergio Rondina and the team set to open against San Telmo in Isla Maciel.
