The future of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has taken an unexpected turn, as the Mexican champion, who for years had set 37 as the age limit for his retirement, now plans to remain active in professional boxing until the age of 40.<\/p>\n

The decision is not accidental. It responds to a new scenario in his career, both in sporting and economic terms, which has redefined his short- and medium-term plans.<\/p>\n

In a recent conversation<\/a>, Canelo himself acknowledged that his position changed after his relationship with Turki Alalshikh, an influential figure in his current professional career.<\/p>\n

The agreement between both parties includes a five-fight schedule, with a figure close to $400 million.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest contracts in boxing history.<\/p>\n

This new landscape has opened up international opportunities, especially with events planned outside the United States.<\/p>\n

For U.S. Hispanic fans, this means that the Mexican will continue to be a protagonist in the sport for longer than expected.<\/p>\n

With fights that could stay on the global radar.<\/p>\n

Canelo is confident in his current level<\/h2>\n
