Bio
Saul Alvarez, frequently addressed in the media as Canelo, was ranked by Forbes as one of the highest-paid athletes in the world in 2019. That achievement is one of the most desirable for any celebrity worldwide. But how did Saul achieved that height?
Santos Saul Alvarez Barragan entered this world in the Mexican city of Guadalajara. He was the youngest son in the big family of Santos and Ana Alvarez. All Alvarez boys were athletic and practiced boxing on the professional level. But just Saul and his older brother Rigo became internationally popular sports stars.
He got in the ring for the first time at the age of 13, and since then boxing has become the inseparable part of his life. As an amateur, he took part in 20 boxing matches. Twice he got the victory in the nation-wide boxing tournament in Mexico. At the age of 14, he won his first gold medal.
In 2005 Saul started boxing as a professional. Around that time he got the nickname “Canelo”, which means “cinnamon” in Spanish. He got that moniker for the string of freckles, which decorated his nose (so untypical for a Mexican). The freckles reminded the boxer’s fan cinnamon powder.
He started his career with several loud victories. At first, he knocked out two of his rivals in a row. In 2008 he fought with Miguel Vasquez and defeated him at the end of the fourth round. Two years later he won the match with Gabriel Martinez. The latter one refused to continue the fight after the twelfth round. As a result, Canelo got a WBA Fedecentro belt.
He was just 20 when he had become the runner-up in the WBC World Championship. To get that title he knocked out Luciano Leonel Cuello.
Canelo got the first prize in many matches and tournaments during the years of his career. But in 2013 there was one match, which he had lost. Then he met the stronger rival in the ring – that was legendary Floyd Mayweather. Alvarez loss was predictable – Floyd was much more experienced at that time and he had started his career nine years earlier than Canelo. The fight between them was tense and million people worldwide were watching it. That match became the most profitable in Canelo’s life.
In 2019 Alvarez remains a busy athlete. He is one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world.
