Who is Saul Canelo Alvarez?
Santos Saul Alvarez Barragan, born on 18 July 1990 in Guadalajara, Mexico, earned the nickname “Canelo,” meaning Cinnamon in Spanish. This moniker was bestowed upon men with red hair in Mexico, a nod to the Irish who fought alongside them during the Mexican-American war.
At the age of 13, Canelo commenced his boxing journey, progressing from an amateur champion to attaining the status of a world champion. Today, he stands as the face of Mexican boxing, holding the prestigious title of undisputed champion in the super middleweight division across all three major boxing organizations: World Boxing Organization (WBO), International Boxing Council (IBC), and World Boxing Council (WBC). His boxing record as of March 2024 is 60 wins, two losses, and two draws.
In 2023, the future boxing hall of famer secured fifth position in Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes, accumulating an impressive $110 million. Utilizing his winnings smartly, Canelo strategically invested in real estate and various businesses, building a financial empire from the substantial earnings garnered through each of his fights. Additionally, he reaped lucrative profits as the global ambassador for several prominent brands.

In 2016, Fernanda embarked on a romantic journey with the multi-millionaire boxer, Canelo Alvarez.
