At 34 years old, Saul Canelo Alvarez is still one of the most important figures in world boxing, but like any great athlete, the end of his career is already beginning to be a topic of conversation, and in the face of growing rumors about his possible retirement, his trainer Eddy Reynoso has clarified: “There is no set date, everything will be step by step”.
Currently, Canelo remains active and focused. His 2025 calendar includes two confirmed big fights: May 3 against undefeated Cuban-German IBF-ranked William Scull and a September mega-fight against two-division undisputed champion Terence Crawford.

These two fights will be key to define the future steps of the tapatío.
According to Reynoso, the focus is on remaining the absolute reference at 168 pounds (super middleweight), without taking unnecessary risks in other divisions, such as 175 pounds (light heavyweight), where he already tried his luck in 2022 against Dmitry Bivol.

In an interview with Azteca Deportes, Eddy Reynoso was clear:
“There are times when there is no date for retirement. We go step by step. Boxing is a sport of wear and tear.”
“Saul has matured a lot. He has better defense, he manages his energy better, and it shows.”
He also noted that Canelo Alvarez maintains the same level of commitment and discipline that brought him to the top:
“We see him very well, with attitude and desire. We’re going to keep going as far as we can.
For the millions of Latinos who follow Canelo Alvarez in the United States, the message is clear: Canelo has a long way to go.
While there is no official retirement signal, fans will still be able to enjoy his boxing in events that will be broadcast in Spanish on platforms such as DAZN and TV Azteca America.
