Canelo Alvaraz: Mexico’s Golden Boy Talks Boxing, Watches, And His Future

Santos Saul “Canelo” Alvarez greets us in his San Diego home, his personal haven dedicated for training when preparing for a big fight. He is casual in a white robe at 9 a.m., leisurely finishing his breakfast as we arrive. The photo shoot and interview have been scheduled at this time in the early morning, as Saturdays are dedicated to sparring as part of his training—he diligently performs a full 10 rounds as part of his preparation for his anticipated fight with opponent Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.
