Watch: Canelo Alvarez reveals the best thing about being a boxer
Canelo Alvarez has been training to be a boxer ever since he was 15-years-old, when he entered Eddy Reynoso's gym for the first time. The Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the world was first inspired by watching his brother make his professional boxing debut.
In a recent interview with DAZN Boxing, Canelo sat down and answered 10 quick-fire questions. One of the questions was in regards to his favorite part of being a boxer. Canelo replied:
"Everything that comes with boxing. The routine, the training, the discipline. Making weight is really hard but I even miss that sometimes, so I think it's all of it. I think when fight night comes my favorite moment is when I'm doing my ring walk. I get goosebumps hearing the people and the music. To bring Mexico to any venue where I'm fighting."
Canelo Alvarez is known for his larger-than-life ring-walks. He brings prominent Mexican and Spanish musicians to perform during them. His next fight is on May 7th, which is Cinco De Mayo weekend. Expect an extravagant Mexico-themed ring walk.
