Mexican singer Majo Aguilar will be in charge of performing the Mexican National Anthem at the expected fight between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Cuban William Scull, to be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Majo’s participation was confirmed by Canelo himself during his official arrival to the Arab country on April 30. Pepe Aguilar’s niece will take advantage of this opportunity to stand out with her talent.
An honor that strengthens the family tradition
Majo Aguilar, granddaughter of Mexican music icons Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre, and niece of Pepe Aguilar, continues the family legacy by representing Mexico in one of the most important sporting events of the year.
His choice to sing the National Anthem in this fight reinforces the presence of the Aguilar dynasty in events of great international relevance.
It should be noted that other members of his family have had the honor of performing the National Anthem at previous Canelo fights. For example, his cousin Angela Aguilar did so in 2021 during the fight against Billy Joe Saunders.
Controversy over cancellation of event in Texas
Majo Aguilar’s participation in the fight has generated controversy because, according to reports, she canceled her performance at the “Viva la Fiesta” festival in Odessa, Texas, scheduled for May 2, in order to travel to Saudi Arabia.
This decision has been criticized by some fans and organizers of the event, who described it as unprofessional.
Expectation for Majo Aguilar’s participation
Majo Aguilar’s presence at an event of such magnitude resonates deeply with the U.S. Hispanic community, especially for those who closely follow both boxing and regional Mexican music.
His participation not only highlights Mexican talent on the international stage, but also reinforces cultural pride and national identity among U.S. Hispanics.
Majo Aguilar follows in the footsteps of Pepe and Angela Aguilar who had already had this same honor in other Canelo fights
