Canelo Álvarez confessed how much time he has left in professional boxing

Saul Canelo Alvarez is currently the top representative of Mexican boxing. At the age of 31 he became the unified champion of the supermedians and is considered the best pound for pound; however, his career up the ring would come to an end.

On the eve of facing Dmitry Bivol, Canelo spoke about the date of his retirement. And although he is not very close, he was aware that this will happen at some point in his sports career. In a brief interview with the portal TMZ, he revealed the time he has left to box and continue to reap wins before saying goodbye to the sport of fists and gloves.

Although he does not constantly think about retirement, he stated that he hopes to stay up the ring for at least six more years because he admitted that the day he hangs up his gloves he will miss him completely, as explained by the boxer from Tapatio:

Because of the age at which most of the fighters retire, he was questioned about the subject, but Álvarez made it clear that it is not something he has in mind immediately because he admitted his affection for the sport that has given him fame and success. For this reason, he would aim to reap more exploits and leave a historical legacy for Mexican sport, especially for professional boxing, as he said:

“I love boxing, I love challenges, I love that adrenaline; I need to achieve everything to be in the history books of boxing, that's why I'm here and I love what I do.”

Along the same lines of building a legacy before saying goodbye to the ring, he added that everything he does for the sport and for his legacy: “When do you see the best boxer go up and down in a weight class and beat all the champions? I think no one, and I try to do the best I can, for boxing, for myself and for my legacy,” he said.
