Now, the focus has been on sharpening my talent and making sure I learn from my mistakes in my last bout. ONE Championship is rich with talent and there are a lot of tough opponents to face in my division. I know I have to be in the best shape of my life each time out.

  • History in the Making: Behind the Scenes at Canelo–Jacobs
    Canelo Alvarez has evolved from a child prodigy to an elite fighter. History in the Making: Behind the Scenes at Canelo–Jacobs On May 4, 2019, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez successfully defended his WBC, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles against Danny Jacobs in Las Vegas and added Jacobs’s IBF belt to his wardrobe. With that victory, Canelo con- tinued to build his legacy the way a fighter’s legacy should be built. Not by self-aggrandizing talk but by deeds in the ring, one fight at a time. Elite fighters have self-belief. Alvarez believes in himself and radiates quiet confidence without the loud bravado often associated with boxing. He chooses his words carefully when speaking in public and keeps his guard up during interviews as he does in the ring. Canelo has the mindset of a fighter. He’s goal-oriented and funda- mentally sound with speed, power, and a solid chin. Now 28, he began boxing professionally at age fifteen and has compiled a 51–1-2 ring ledger. One of the draws came when he was fifteen years old. The other was against Gennady Golovkin. The loss was to Floyd Mayweather when Mayweather was at his peak and Canelo had yet to mature as a fighter. Alvarez didn’t rest on his early success. He has worked hard to get better and tested himself at every level. He’s willing to fight quality oppo- nents who are good enough to beat him. Three of his last four bouts have been against Golovkin (twice) and Jacobs. He embraces challenges.
