“Yes, as I said, I already have enough to retire right now, thank God. From everything that I’ve invested, I have… Every three months I have 4 and 5 million dollars that I receive, every three months,” said Alvarez about his investments in real estate.

“So, I have enough of course to retire and have absolutely no problem. But I like boxing. And I am about to open 90 to 100 gas stations here in Mexico. They are gonna be called ‘Canelo Energy’,” he further added.

“When you go to pump gas, I want everything to be Canelo’s, that’s my biggest challenge,” he concluded, talking about his future plans.

Canelo last competed in February this year as he stopped Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. He faces the undefeated British star, Saunders next.

But Canelo is no stranger to undefeated British fighters. He earned a decision against Callum Smith in December last year. One might argue that Saunder’s achievements inside the squared ring can’t be compared to that of Smith. But fighting Alvarez is a different thing altogether.
