With a fight scheduled at ONE on TNT 4 following a reversal of his disqualification loss earlier in April, Eddie Alvarez is focusing only on his mixed martial arts career and no longer sounds interested in pursuing a boxing match against Oscar De La Hoya.
The former UFC lightweight champion had reason to celebrate on Monday after ONE Championship announced that his recent disqualification loss to Iuri Lapicus would be overturned to a no contest after he originally received a red card for illegal punches to the back of the head. While he would have loved a win, Alvarez said he’s “happy” with the new result as he prepares for his upcoming fight against Ok Rae Yoon on Wednesday.
