A few weeks ago, Brian Castaño (31) was very close to making history in the United States, when the Argentine boxer from Isidro Casanova, in La Matanza, was
clear dominator in the fight
against local
Jermell Charlo.
Despite the great role he played in the ring,
the judges of the fight gave an unusual ruling
(tie) and took away the possibility of becoming the first Latino to win the WBO, WBA, WBC and IBF titles.
Now, days after that bad drink generated by the arbitration decision,
Boxi
(as they say to the young man from Matanzas) is dedicated to enjoying a
well-deserved rest in Puerto Rico,
where he also shares the honeymoon with his new wife.
"I saw the fight with Charlo, brother; a fighter, I saw you winning there," Dady Yankee (left) told Brian Castaño.
In that situation, he experienced an
unexpected and top meeting
: at a Puerto Rican boxing club, he met Daddy Yankee, the
world's greatest
reggaeton
star
.
"What's up? It's
a pleasure to meet you,
" was the initial greeting with which the artist from the Caribbean island broke the ice in the presence of Castaño, who visited the
Monterrey Boxing Club facilities
, in the municipality of Bayamón.
Between praise and smiles, Brian Castaño and Daddy Yankee chatted for a while on the edge of a ring.
The
greatest exponent
of the reggaeton genre praised Brian's performance on American soil and ratified what the world saw, except for the judges that night, of course.
"
I saw the fight with Charlo
, brother. A fighter!
I saw you winning there
. Tremendous fight, brother. How good that you are in Puerto Rico," said Cangri, nickname by which Yankee is popularly known.
"I wanted to know, on the subject of legends and champions. I came to visit, for a walk around your house," Brian replied to Yankee after thanking him for the praise.
"You know that
I love your country
too much.
Argentina is my land too,
" replied the reggaeton player.
"Thank you very much, people love you," Boxi redoubled the bet.
And the singer, before starting his training in the ring of the place, said: "Like me, I
love Argentina very much
. Tremendous!"
Then the champion from La Matanza told him some details about the fight in San Antonio.
The "Boxi", as they say in Isidro Casanova, visited a boxing gym and unexpectedly met the great reggaeton star.
The moment of the
more than friendly
meeting between the
boxer who emerged in the western area
of Greater Buenos Aires and the Puerto Rican singer was replicated in the official Instagram accounts of both.
There, in addition, they published the photos that were taken at the local club.
And the Argentine expressed his
joy for the meeting
on social networks.
The postcard at the end, where everyone poses for the camera of the Argentine boxer.
"It was
an honor to
meet these great people, boxers and trainers, but mainly
a legend in life," he published about one of the pioneers of the Puerto Rican genre
.
"Daddy Yankee, you are from the neighborhood
, very humble and with your feet on the ground. A great artist and a
great connoisseur of boxing
,
who loves this noble sport," Brian extended.
The clash of hands between Daddy Yankee and Brian Castaño, who is on his honeymoon in Puerto Rico.
And he added: "Without further words. I take with me a
beautiful memory
of Puerto Rico. My respects and admiration for the King and this beautiful country."

in his own post with a postcard of the meeting in which both pose smiling.
