Boxing Notably Shines at the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl LX halftime show was not only a celebration of Latin music but also a global showcase for two of boxing’s brightest stars: Xander Zayas and Emiliano “General” Vargas, who made a special appearance this Sunday during superstar Bad Bunny’s performance at Levi’s Stadium.

In a moment that fused sport with pop culture, Zayas and Vargas appeared proudly sporting the colors of their roots, Puerto Rico and Mexico, respectively. While Bad Bunny performed his global hit “Tití Me Preguntó,” the boxers touched gloves in a gesture of sporting brotherhood, creating an arch for the artist to walk under during his choreography.

The selection of Bad Bunny to headline the halftime show was a historic milestone, following previous editions that reached audiences of over 133 million viewers. In the sporting arena, the Seattle Seahawks were crowned champions after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13. With this appearance, boxing reaffirms its place in popular culture.
