OSCAR VALDEZ and his pet ALLIGATOR took a dip in a pool just days before his showdown against Shakur Stevenson.
The WBO super featherweight champion, the defending WBO champion, took time to unwind in his swimming pool after a hard training camp.
Steve Irwin is the name of Valdez’s alligator.
His alligator Steve sat at his bottom in his pool, looking as happy as Larry while he was submerged.
Fans of stunt boxing were quick to comment upon the video of Valdez having some downtime with Steve. One said, "Wtf is wrong with people."
Another person said, "He's got a set on him like."
Another said, "Tell me that you don’t value life ..."without telling me that you don’t value life."

Steve Irwin, whom Valdez grew up watching on TV as a child, sparked his fascination with alligators.

31-year-old Valdez owned two crocodiles, two alligators and one alligator. Unfortunately, his crocs were tragically lost.
He recently disclosed that he only has one alligator in his home, and said: "One of them is on the farm."
"I took him to the farm a year and a half ago.
"I kept him in my yard, but he was growing bigger and larger." He didn't have a great environment.
Valdez has owned his alligators from their infant days, but he is cautious around them.
He stated, "I had them from the very beginning but they are still reptiles."
"If I held them, they would eat it.
"I treat them with respect. There are many ways to get them. He's not going to let me near his mouth.
"I placed myself in a safe spot. I wouldn't put my life at risk, because that's where my future is.
