Mexican boxing champion Canelo Alvarez has revealed the end of his career and cast doubt on his final fight. In his latest interview, Canelo announced that he plans to retire soon, indicating that he will stop boxing as soon as possible. These statements come at a sensitive time, as talk continues about the possibility of him fighting Terence Crawford, the American world champion who is considered one of the best boxers in the world today.
Canelo Alvarez, who has a remarkable record of 62 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws, will always be considered one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. His achievements in several weight divisions have made him a global icon in boxing. As his retirement approaches, his highly anticipated fight with Crawford has become the subject of much speculation among boxing fans.
In his recent interview with former footballer Hugo Sanchez, Canelo did not specify an exact date for his retirement, but he made it clear that he plans to step away from the ring before the age of 37. He indicated that he does not want to risk spoiling his legacy in the ring after that age. “Since I was 28-29, I felt at my best,” he said, adding that he believes 37 is the ideal age to enjoy what he has achieved with his family and in his career outside the ring.
As for his legacy in boxing, Canelo stressed that he is proud of what he has achieved throughout his years in the ring, and that he does not want to prolong his retirement so as not to affect his reputation. He explained, saying: “I started boxing at the age of 15, and I have lived through many challenges and difficult moments, and today I feel that I have achieved everything I wanted.”
While rumors of a potential fight with Crawford continue to circulate, Canelo Alvarez’s legacy remains strong. This fight could be the perfect farewell to a great champion, but the big question remains: will this be his last? We’ll have to wait and see in the coming days.
