The boxing world was stunned over the weekend when Canelo Alvarez was defeated by Dmitry Bivol, only the Mexican’s second defeat in his career, and the aftermath has generated numerous headlines throughout the world.
Many commentators and pundits have speculated on why Canelo lost the fight, but Joe Rogan feels it was due to his vegan diet.
The podcaster is well-known for opposing vegetarianism and advocating for a meat-based diet.
Rogan posted an Instagram story criticizing the boxer for opting for a vegan diet in the build-up to the major fight, which he ultimately lost.
“That worked good,” Rogan said after sharing a Canelo quote regarding his diet as quoted by Marca.
Many fans were dissatisfied with Alvarez’s vegan diet, in addition to Joe Rogan. Many fans predicted that he would lose after learning that he was on a diet during training for the Bivol fight.
