Canelo Alvarez will take on Callum Smith to conclude the year on a high note. The Mexican boxer is ready to take on one of the toughest challenges of his career. Recently, he interacted with SiriusXM Boxing, and shed light on this bout and the respect that he deserves for his extensive boxing career.

On a question about getting the respect he deserves, Canelo reverted:

“Always happens, you are never going to keep people happy. Especially that group. To that group of people who are not happy with anything. The truth is that I’m fine. I’m aware and I know those I’m facing are the best, and you will never make happy that group of people.”

“So I don’t care. What worries me is to keep winning and keep doing the best for my career,” he concluded.

This is the mindset that will help him greatly as he heads into a fight at the Alamodome on Saturday. The best way for Alvarez to further his career will be to win and not focus on everyone else.
