Sporting Diaz's 'I'm not surprised motherf**kers' T-shirt, the 25-year-old Mexican boxer expressed his support for Nate Diaz in a video with Latin American magazine Fighters Magazine.

"Best of luck [Diaz], but I know you don't need any luck because I know you're going to win," Canelo said. "The preparation, the hard work in the gym is what gives you success. I know what you've done, and you're going to win."
