Canelo Alvarez has firmly established the power of his punches by clinching some of the biggest victories in the last decade. After Floyd Mayweather’s retirement, the Mexican became the torchbearer of the sport. Even champions feared facing Canelo, but the NBA legend Stephen Curry did not mind that before sparring with a warrior, who is edging towards his prime.

The four-weight division champ is a big golf enthusiast. Most of the time, after settling business in the ring, the champ is found hitting a ball in a hole. He is good at it and often takes part in celebrity golf contests. But that’s not what Canelo was doing on the golf course in a recent video that circulated on the social media platform.

Rather, he took part in a hilarious sparring session with Curry. Though it was brief, it completely shocked the latter.

After earning fame with basketball, Curry tried to check the magic of his hands in boxing. Unfortunately, the man standing in front was Canelo. First Curry stepped forward to show his hand speed before he jabbed at Canelo. The latter missed it with a nice head movement and before Curry could even react, Canelo touched his cap with lightning speed.

Everyone standing around with Curry rolled their head in laughter.
