Turning to Instagram, Canelo shared a story from the tattoo artist who inked him with the bear tattoo. It showcased a massive brown bear running through the woods, portraying Canelo’s fierce boxing presence. Besides his latest ink, the legendary boxer has a portrait of his daughters on various parts of his body.

One of the well-known tattoos most fans are aware of is the motivational quote on his back. It says, “Destiny is not a matter of chance. It’s a matter of choice. Life is hard, but never give up – Keep on fighting & always believe in yourself to achieve your Dreams.” Despite his love of tattoos, he didn’t back down from criticizing a boxer for their tattoo.

However, it’s unlikely to be either of those two. Meanwhile, after Canelo shared his new ink, one of his comments about then gymmate Andy Ruiz Jr. comes to mind. Back in October 2021, Canelo was about to fight Caleb Plant, but before the fight, in an All Access episode of Canelo vs. Plant, the Mexican superstar made fun of Ruiz’s tattoo.

“Let me rub your new tattoo and take the pain away. That must hurt, is it peeling? Does it hurt” said Canelo. In response, Ruiz said, “Yeah, when I wipe it, it’s all irritated.” Ruiz had gotten a full back tattoo, which became the center of banter in the gym.
