Canelo Alvarez opens up on boxing future and life beyond the sport
Alvarez has already established himself as one of the sport’s most prominent figures with world titles in four weight classes. At 36, the Mexican icon believes he still has plenty left physically, but insists he won’t ignore the signs when his body begins to slow down.
“When I’m there in the gym and I take a lot of punches and then my body doesn’t respond in the same way, then I know,” Alvarez said. “I’m not going to go and fight with that kind of training. Because in the training, you can see everything in the training camp.”
Alvarez, who has more than 60 wins in his decorated career, also claimed that he has very little left to compete for. While he still feels “good” during training sessions, he believes there’s “not much left” for him to do in the sport and is already looking ahead.
“I have other things to accomplish outside of boxing,” he added.
