The P4P King Canelo Alvarez has turned 31. Over the past year, as a 30-year-old, he has had a pretty decent time. He is now the unified super-middleweight champion and is just short of the IBF belt in his quest to become undisputed. While he is focusing on that, he took time to celebrate his birthday solely with his family. Alvarez shared a glimpse of how he began his day via social media and thrilled several fans.

Canelo Alvarez, who was sleeping, was woken up with a song playing in the background as his daughter excitedly presented him with a birthday cake. As Alvarez began his day on a bright note, he couldn’t help but post it on social media. In the caption, the P4P king wrote, “There is no better gift.”
