Canelo Alvarez is the undeniable star of modern-day boxing. In his prolonged boxing run, the Mexican boxer has etched the legendary status to his name, and he’s one of the biggest household names of the sport.

Moreover, Alvarez has a huge fan following, and this helps him in bagging countless brand sponsorships. That said, recently the P4P boxing king struck a deal with Esports Boxing Club (ESBC), wherein he’ll appear on the gaming platform through multiple verticals.

He took it to Twitter to announce his collaboration with the firm. “The face of boxing” is coming to PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Find me in the brand new boxing video game @ESBCGame” wrote Alvarez.

Alvarez is definitely the biggest addition to ESBC’s decorated roster. Prior to this, in his vast boxing career, Alvarez never featured in a mainline boxing game. But ESBC has changed that with a dramatic game-changing move.

In his last fight, the Guadalajara boxer locked horns with Billy Joe Saunders for the unified super-middleweight championship. It was expected to be Alvarez’s toughest at the 168-pound landscape.

But when Canelo took up the ring space against ‘Superb’, he crushed all his naysayers by putting on an exhilarating performance. The 30-year-old claimed a sensational RTD win, thus establishing himself as the superstar at this weight class.
