Canelo Alvarez diet: What does the boxer eat?
Canelo Alvarez changed his diet ahead of the Dmitry Bivol fight and completely turned vegan. He claimed that his body adapted to it very well.
Not that his diet had much to do with the loss, but Alvarez looked helpless against Bivol inside the ring. He was then criticized by several people, including Joe Rogan, for quitting meat.
The UFC commentator talked about this on his podcast and said:
“If you’re in combat sports, you need to have everything dialed up, dialed in… That’s Canelo Alvarez. He shouldn’t be eating f*****g plants. What the f*** you doing bro? You’re eating celery. We gotta get a steak in you.”
Following the second career loss against Bivol, Alvarez will now defend his undisputed status against Gennadiy Golovkin at 168 lbs on September 17. It is unknown whether he will stick to the vegan diet or not, but this is how Canelo’s diet looked back in 2016 according to reports.
