Retirement is approaching for Canelo Alvarez, and the Mexican knows it. At 34 years of age, he has dominated boxing like few others, accumulating titles in four different divisions and leaving an indelible mark. The reality is that time does not forgive and he knows that he has little time left to retire.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has hinted since last year at a possible retirement, and this time it seems that there is already a date for when he decides to hang up his gloves. The Mexican signed a contract with Riyadh Season, with these commitments, it is clear that Canelo will continue to fight in the next two years.

However, it seems that after this agreement with Turki Alalshikh, the Mexican could end his professional career in boxing.

Canelo knows he has very little left

In an interview with TMZ, Saul once again hinted at retirement from boxing, comments that have left some concern among his loyal fans.

“I’ve fought everybody; I’ve fought the best. I’ve won many titles in different weight classes,” said Canelo. “I’ve been the pound-for-pound king, fighter of the year; in everything. If we talk about money, it’s never enough. But it’s not just about money. It’s about enjoying everything,” said the Mexican.

“I still enjoy boxing. That’s why I’m here. But if we talk about money, it’s never enough. But I don’t think about making a specific amount of money and then retiring; no. I’m going to do my thing, and then, at 37 or 38 years old, it’s time to retire,” said Canelo.

According to various sources, the Mexican will earn approximately $400 million with his contract with Turki.

Mexican ready to start his first fight in Saudi Arabia

The first fight of Canelo‘s deal with Riyadh Season will be against William Scull on May 3 for the IBF belt, a victory would once again make him the undisputed 168-pound champion.

If all goes well, Saul would face Terence Crawford in September, from Las Vegas. In that scenario, he already has all of 2025 set aside, his next candidates would be for 2026, which would be his last fights as a professional.

Fernando Diniz define clube que dá aula no Brasil: “Exemplo de sucesso”

Diniz, ex-técnico da seleção brasileira (Vitor Silva/CBF) Fernando Diniz vê o Fortaleza dando aula dentro e fora dos gramados no Brasil. Além do desempenho que fez o clube, mais uma vez, disputar a fase de grupos da Libertadores, o modelo administrativo foi elogiado pelo treinador. Levando em conta o trabalho de Vojvoda, totalmente respaldado em momentos críticos, a postura da diretoria é avaliada como exemplar para os outros clubes da Série A. “Em 2022, ficou o turno inteiro na lanterna praticamente, foi sair do rebaixamento no final do campeonato. Olha o que o Fortaleza conseguiu por causa de uma ideia, de um cara que conseguiu suportar. Ou não tem pressão? Lógico que tem pressão para mudar.”, disse Diniz, ao Abre Aspas, do GE.

Nelíbí se mi Haškovo chování. V Česku mě za slova o něm málem zabili, řekl Petržela ruským médiím

„Nechci mluvit o Haškovi. Nelíbí se mi jeho chování,“ cituje Petrželova slova server RIA Novosti. „Nechci mluvit za něj. Mně se ale v Rusku líbilo,“ doplnil kouč, jenž vedl v letech 2002 až 2006 Zenit Petrohrad a v Rusku má stále spousty přátel.Místopředseda ruské bezpečnostní rady Medveděv se obul do Haška poté, co ruský hokejista a velký obdivovatel prezidenta Vladimira Putina Alexandr Ovečkin překonal střelecký rekord Waynea Gretzkého a stal se tak nejlepším kanonýrem v historii NHL.„895 je výsledkem velkého ruského hokejisty! P.S. Čekáme na sebevraždu šíleného českého Haška,“ napsal Medveděv na sociální síti Telegram. A o pár dnů později už přidal explicitní výhrůžku. „Doporučil bych mu, aby opatrněji přecházel silnici, nepil pivo na neprověřených místech a pravidelně navštěvoval psychiatra,“ vzkázal bývalý prezident.„V České republice je postoj k Haškovi nejednoznačný. Někteří s jeho slovy o Rusku souhlasí, jiní ne. Já nerozumím tomu, proč se tak vehementně staví proti ruským hokejistům,“ uvedl nyní Petržela pro server […]
