Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán (born on July 18, 1990), known to many as Canelo or Saúl Álvarez, is a famous Mexican professional boxer. He has won many world championships in four different weight classes, from light middleweight all the way to light heavyweight. In 2021, Canelo made history by becoming the first boxer ever to hold all four major world titles at super middleweight at the same time. This means he was the undisputed champion in that division until July 2024.
Canelo started his professional boxing journey when he was just 15 years old. He won his first world championship, the WBC light middleweight title, in 2011 when he was 20. This made him the youngest champion in that weight class. He has faced and beaten many top boxers, including Miguel Cotto, Gennady Golovkin, and Billy Joe Saunders. He is known for being a great counterpuncher, meaning he's good at hitting opponents when they miss. He's also famous for his powerful body punches.
Outside the boxing ring, Canelo is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. He has also been involved in movies and video games, and he does a lot of good work helping children and families in his home country.

Early life
Canelo Álvarez was born near Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. When he was five, his family moved to Juanacatlán, Jalisco. Growing up on a farm, he learned to ride horses, a hobby he still enjoys today. Canelo is the youngest of eight children, and all seven of his brothers also became professional boxers. Some of his brothers include Ramón Álvarez and Ricardo Álvarez.
The nickname Canelo means "Cinnamon" in Spanish. It's a common nickname for people with red hair, like Canelo and his mother.
Amateur career
Canelo started boxing when he was about 13 years old. He was inspired after watching his older brother, Rigoberto, have his first professional boxing match. In 2004, Canelo won a silver medal at the Junior Mexican National Championships. The next year, at age 15, he became the 2005 Junior Mexican National Boxing Champion. His amateur record was very impressive, with 44 wins and only 2 losses.
Professional career
Starting out
Canelo became a professional boxer at just 15 years old. His trainers felt he was too good for junior amateur fights. In his first 19 months as a pro, he knocked out 11 of his 13 opponents, who were all much older than him. He even fought his third official pro fight against Miguel Vázquez in 2006. In 2008, Canelo and all six of his brothers made history by fighting on the same night!
Light middleweight champion
Canelo won his first major title, the WBC Silver light middleweight title, in 2010. After this fight, Mexican singer Vicente Fernández even gave him a horse! He then defended his title against Carlos Baldomir, knocking him out in the sixth round.
On March 5, 2011, Canelo won his first world championship, the vacant WBC light middleweight title, by beating Matthew Hatton. He defended this title several times, including against Ryan Rhodes and Alfonso Gómez.
In 2013, Canelo fought Austin Trout and won, adding the WBA and Ring light middleweight titles to his collection. This was a big step in his career.
First professional loss
On September 14, 2013, Canelo faced the undefeated boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Mayweather won the fight by a majority decision, which was Canelo's first professional loss. Many people thought the scoring was controversial, but Mayweather showed his skill.
Catchweight and new titles
After his loss, Canelo fought several times at a special "catchweight" of 155 pounds. He beat Alfredo Angulo in 2014 and then had a very close fight against Erislandy Lara, winning by a split decision. In 2015, he knocked out James Kirkland in a thrilling fight.
Becoming a middleweight champion
On November 21, 2015, Canelo moved up in weight and defeated Miguel Cotto to win the WBC and Ring middleweight titles. This was a huge victory that established him as a top fighter in a new division.
In 2016, Canelo defended his middleweight titles against Amir Khan, winning by a powerful knockout in the sixth round. After the fight, Canelo invited middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin into the ring, setting the stage for a future super fight. Canelo later gave up his WBC title, which was then awarded to Golovkin.
Back to light middleweight
Canelo then decided to move back down to light middleweight. On September 17, 2016, he challenged and defeated WBO champion Liam Smith with a knockout in the ninth round. This win earned him another world title at 154 pounds.
Big fights at catchweight and middleweight
Canelo vs. Chávez Jr.
In May 2017, Canelo fought fellow Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. at a catchweight of 164.5 pounds. Canelo completely dominated the fight, winning every round on all judges' scorecards.
Canelo vs. Golovkin I & II
After the Chávez Jr. fight, Canelo announced he would fight Gennady Golovkin (often called "GGG") on September 16, 2017. This was a highly anticipated fight between two of the best middleweights in the world. The fight ended in a split draw, meaning the judges couldn't agree on a winner. Many fans and experts felt Golovkin had won, especially because one judge's scorecard was very wide in Canelo's favor.
A rematch was quickly planned for May 2018. However, Canelo faced a temporary suspension due to a positive test for a banned substance. He explained it was from contaminated meat, a common issue in Mexico. The fight was rescheduled for September 15, 2018. In the rematch, Canelo defeated Golovkin by a majority decision, winning the WBA (Super), WBC, and vacant Ring middleweight titles. This was a very close and exciting fight that many people still debate.
Super middleweight journey
In December 2018, Canelo moved up to the super middleweight division for the first time. He fought and easily defeated British boxer Rocky Fielding to win the WBA (Regular) super middleweight title.
Unifying middleweight titles
Canelo then returned to middleweight to fight IBF champion Daniel Jacobs in May 2019. Canelo won by unanimous decision, adding Jacobs' IBF title to his WBA (Super), WBC, and Ring middleweight titles. This made him a unified middleweight champion.
Light heavyweight challenge
In November 2019, Canelo made a big jump, moving up two weight classes to challenge WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev. Canelo knocked out Kovalev in the eleventh round, becoming a world champion in three different weight classes. This was a huge achievement, showing his ability to compete and win against bigger opponents.
Becoming Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion
In 2020, Canelo left his previous promoter and became a free agent. He then focused on becoming the undisputed champion at super middleweight.
Canelo vs. Callum Smith
On December 19, 2020, Canelo fought undefeated WBA (Super) and Ring super middleweight champion Callum Smith. Canelo dominated the fight, winning by unanimous decision and adding two more titles to his collection.
Canelo vs. Yıldırım
Next, Canelo defended his titles against Avni Yıldırım in February 2021. Canelo won easily when Yıldırım's corner stopped the fight after the third round.
Canelo vs. Saunders
On May 8, 2021, Canelo faced undefeated WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders in a unification bout. This fight broke a record for indoor boxing attendance in the U.S., with over 73,000 fans! Canelo won when Saunders' team stopped the fight in the eighth round because Saunders suffered a serious eye injury from one of Canelo's punches.
Canelo vs. Plant: Undisputed!
After months of talks, Canelo fought undefeated IBF champion Caleb Plant on November 6, 2021. The winner would become the first undisputed super middleweight champion ever. Canelo won the fight by technical knockout in the eleventh round. With this victory, he made history by holding all four major world titles in the super middleweight division at the same time!
Return to light heavyweight and a new challenge
Canelo vs. Bivol
In May 2022, Canelo moved back up to light heavyweight to challenge undefeated WBA (Super) champion Dmitry Bivol. In a surprising upset, Bivol won the fight by unanimous decision, giving Canelo his second professional loss. Canelo later admitted he was tired during the fight and couldn't train as usual. He expressed a desire for a rematch.
Back to super middleweight
Canelo vs. Golovkin III
Despite wanting a rematch with Bivol, Canelo decided to return to super middleweight to fight Gennady Golovkin for a third time on September 17, 2022. This time, Golovkin moved up to super middleweight to challenge Canelo for his undisputed titles. Canelo won the fight by unanimous decision, settling their rivalry.
