Canelo Alvarez reveals the timeline for his retirement
Over the years, Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2) has risen to become one of the greatest boxers of all time. While the 33-year-old had always been a top prospect, the loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2013 can be attributed as the catalyst for his ascension to the absolute elite level. The 33-year-old suffered the second professional loss of his career against Dmitry Bivol in May 2022.
According to some, the aura around Canelo seems to be fading since the loss. However, the Mexican powerhouse emerged victorious over Gennady Golovkin and John Ryder in his most recent outings. The promotion for Canelo vs. Charlo has already started and both men have been interacting with the media for the same reason.
While talking about retirement during his recent appearance in The Breakfast Club, Canelo stated that he still has four to five years of fighting left in him.
“I think I at least have four more years in me, maybe five. I’ve been a professional boxer since 15 years of age. Thats’ almost 18 years of fighting professionally. I always said I would retire when I was 36 or 37, around that age. That’s more than enough, it’s so many years of boxing. By then, I will have accomplished many things and then I will have to enjoy my life with the family and all,” Canelo Alvarez stated.
