Turki Alalshikh - English
William Scull - English
In the world of boxing, there are names that are written with golden gloves and others that are engraved in the collective memory. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, that redhead from Jalisco with shrapnel fists, has just added a new nickname to his already juicy record… but this time it does not come from a Mexican announcer or some excited fan shouting from the front row of the MGM. No, ladies and gentlemen of sporting gossip, this label comes with a British accent and with all the formality of a bow (more or less).
From the other side of the pond, in the land of tea and boxers that Canelo has left seeing stars, fans have decided to rename him “Brit Basher.”
Like a sheikh! Canelo welcomed with flowers in Saudi Arabia ahead of his big fight
Canelo’s great results against English boxers
And it’s no wonder. The Mexican has collected English boxers as if they were World Cup stickers. Eight Britons have crossed the ring with him – from the stylish Amir Khan to the resilient John Ryder – and all of them ended up knowing what it feels like to receive a Jalisco right-hander in 4D.
But it’s not all war. Canelo, in diplomatic mode with his new nickname, takes it with a wry smile: “I’m sorry to say it, but I’ll keep doing it if someone pays me,” he said in an interview with The Sun, proving that he who hits first… also gets paid better.
Will Canelo fight in England?
And yes, between knockouts and million-dollar trips, the “Brit Basher” has more than just punches in his sights: he wants to get in the ring in the UK, because according to him, “it would be crazy to fight there”. The icing on the cake? A fresh contract with Turki Al-Sheikh for the Riyadh Season, which includes four fights, one of which (fingers crossed, British haters) could take place on English soil.
So yes, Canelo could stop being simply “Canelo” to officially become a nightmare with a Mexican passport for anyone who speaks with a London accent. Do we like it? We love it. Because if there is one thing the redhead has, besides feline reflexes and a devastating hook, it is that he always knows how to make news again… even if it is with a made in England nickname.

"We believe this is an innovative approach -- a new structure and governance model that thoughtfully contemplates how we strengthen Athletics, protect and promote the University and open up new opportunities for growth," Kentucky president Eli Capilouto said in a statement. "It's a foundation and model that we are calling Champions Blue. Athletics and its success have always been the result […]
