The new look at your life

Julio César Chávez, who in the 80s was considered the best boxer in the world pound for pound and champion in three categories, is preparing to premiere the docuseries “Chávez vs Chávez” in September on the ViX platform. The 64-year-old from Sonora promises a no-holds-barred story about his rises, falls and his recovery process.

“It is a series that talks about the rise and fall that I had, but also about the rise. From when I was a child, from when I was world champion and everything else, of course the family is involved,” he declared.

The production is carried out by Diego Enrique Osorno, known for documentaries such as “The show, chronicle of a murder” and “The mountain”. It is the second time that Chávez is portrayed in this format; The first was in 2007 by Diego Luna, in a feature film. In 2017 the bioseries “El César” with Armando Hernández was broadcast.

“It’s not that I didn’t like it (Luna’s), but this one is going to be more beautiful; in that one I was very bad then (due to substance use) and this one is more complete,” he commented.

There are also plans for a film in the United States, still in negotiation. “After it is achieved, I can leave this world peacefully. I am already very seen,” he added.

Chávez was world champion in Super Featherweight, Lightweight and Super Lightweight. He had more than 80 knockouts (eight out of 10 fights) and just six defeats. After his retirement, he faced problems with alcohol and other substance use; He entered rehabilitation in 2010. Today he is a commentator on TV Azteca and gives motivational talks.

Starting this week, he also appears in a “Call of Duty: Mobile” campaign for Mexico and Latin America, where players will get gloves inspired by the former boxer with his signature. The recording was made at Churubusco Studios.

“Video games are very important in the new generations, I see how my grandson Julito handles it, he is six years old and since being born with them, he teaches me, I think he will like this one.”

Almost 30 years after his retirement, children still recognize him. “It’s something beautiful that money can’t buy and that’s what I’m going to take with me when I die,” he concluded.

Rain of criticism against Pedro Sola for comments against dogs

Colleagues and celebrities condemn Pedro Sola's statements about poisoning dogs in public spaces.

Rechazo generalizado a declaraciones de Pedro Sola

El conductor de Ventaneando, Pedro Sola, de 79 años, desató una ola de indignación al afirmar que le molestaba la presencia de perros en restaurantes y centros comerciales, y que sentía ganas de “aventarles carne envenenada”. Aunque se disculpó al día siguiente, la controversia no cesa.

Su colega Pepillo Origel, conocido amante de los animales, lanzó un mensaje sin mencionarlo directamente pero con clara alusión a sus temores. About his dogs Tom and Jerry, he wrote:

“Me iba a traer a Tom y a Jerry pero no me los vayan a envenenar mejor los dejé guardados no vaya a ser el diablo”.

Pepillo había expresado antes el cariño que siente por sus mascotas: “No hay nada más hermoso que tener en tu casa unos compañeros que te cuidan… es amor de verdad”.

Other voices in the controversy

Famosos como Mauricio Martínez, Carlos Bonavides, Yordi Rosado, Aracely Arámbula, Apio Quijano y Marcos Valdés también reprobaron los dichos de Sola. Mauricio Martínez pointed out on networks:

“Ser pet friendly no es poner un letrero en la puerta. Es entender que, para muchas personas, su mascota no es un accesorio… es parte de su familia”.

Marcos Valdés, visiblemente afectado, recordó cómo sus mascotas lo han apoyado en momentos difíciles y sentenció que lo dicho por Sola “enterró a Ventaneando”. Añadió: “Querer envenenar a un animalito inocente no tiene madre… esto te va a hundir por siempre”.

No es la primera vez que Sola genera críticas por comentarios contra animales. En el pasado sugirió cortar las cuerdas vocales a un perro para que no ladrara. La polémica reaviva el debate sobre el respeto hacia los animales en espacios públicos y la responsabilidad de figuras mediáticas.

Ernesto Laguardia: from soap opera heartthrob to inhabitant of ‘The House of the Famous’

The 'Quinceañera' actor joins the reality show with a strategy based on values.

Ernesto Laguardia has arrived in the fourth season of The House of the Famous Mexico. But before exposing himself to the public eye 24/7, he had already forged a solid career on Mexican television.

From commercials to youthful heartthrob

Laguardia debuted as a child model and then entered the Center for Artistic Education (CEA) of Televisa. His first acting role was in La Fiera, alongside Victoria Ruffo. A year later he ventured into film with Dune, by David Lynch.

The big leap came at the end of the eighties. He played Pancho in Quinceañera, alongside Adela Noriega. The character, a young mechanic, made him the idol of a generation. The soap opera crossed borders and consolidated it as one of the television station’s promises.

Multifaceted career

Then came titles like Alondra, Poor Relatives, Amor Real and Corona de ojos, where he played Don Rómulo Ancira, his first villain. He also found success as a host: almost a decade on Hoy and at the head of Código F.A.M.A., which allowed him to connect with new generations.

Now, Laguardia faces a different challenge. In The House of the Famous, he will appear more vulnerable, something that contrasts with his usual secrecy.

“My strategy is to enter with an education, with my values, with my limits. I know how to speak crudely, rudely perhaps, but I know how far,” he declared to EL UNIVERSAL.

The reality show marks his return to Televisa, after having emigrated to Azteca in 2017. With more than three decades of career, the actor shows that he still has something new to offer.

ENHYPEN arrives in Mexico with three concerts at Arena CDMX

Three concerts at the CDMX Arena mark ENHYPEN's debut on Mexican soil.

ENHYPEN plays for the first time in Mexico

The K-pop fever doesn’t stop. ENHYPEN, the South Korean group that emerged from the reality show “I-LAND”, will make its debut in Mexico with three concerts at the CDMX Arena. The dates are on July 11, 12 and 14, plus a special presentation on the 15th with the band Santos Bravo.

The group was formed in 2020, when seven young people competed in the Mnet survival program. Its name alludes to the script that connects words, symbolizing the union of different personalities that grow together. The group is made up of Jungwon (leader), Heeseung (main vocalist), Jay (originally from the United States), Jake (Australian), Sunghoon (former figure skater), Sunoo (stage charisma) and Ni-ki (Japanese dancer, the youngest).

What distinguishes ENHYPEN is its narrative concept: a story inspired by vampires, fantastic worlds and the transition from adolescence to adulthood. His videos and presentations build a universe that has captivated millions.

Like any great K-pop group, ENHYPEN has a loyal fan base: the Engene, a name that combines “engine” and “gene.” The idea is that they drive the growth of the band and share a unique bond.

Since its debut on November 30, 2020, ENHYPEN has racked up millions of sales and sold-out dates around the world. His arrival in Mexico has generated enormous expectations. Tickets for the three concerts at the CDMX Arena are still available at Superboletos.
