Canelo Alvarez Donates $1,000,000 to Cancer Treatment Center for Kids

Time and time again, Canelo Alvarez has stepped up to the toughest fights possible and he has set an example by not shying away from taking on such challenges. And, he did exactly that on November 6 by stepping into the ring with Caleb Plant, who held the IBF super-middleweight title until fight night.

Just when Caleb Plant started to look a lot like the only person who could finally beat him, Canelo Alvarez wiped all doubters off the board by knocking him out in round 11. The boxing world is now convinced that Alvarez is indeed one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Saul Alvarez just went a step further to prove his greatness to the world. The four-division champion recently retweeted and reshared a children’s cancer treatment center’s post on social media.

The social media post stated that the pound-for-pound king had donated $1 million to the center and they thanked him for the same. Alvarez acknowledged the post on his own feed.
