Moreover, the Mexican boxer will be supported by his wife Fernanda Gomez, who will be alongside him during this. Although boxers and athletes are infamous for having multiple wives and girlfriends, Alvarez has been with Gomez for almost 6 years. The pair first met back in 2016 at a charity gala and started dating soon after.

However, the couple preferred to keep their relationship private and out of the spotlight. This would change after they were spotted celebrating Alvarez’s victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at Jewel Nightclub in Las Vegas.

Although there is not much known about Gomez’s professional life, her Instagram page shows her love and affection for her family. Moreover, she has posted several pictures with Alvarez and their daughter supporting the Mexican champion as he cements his legacy in the sport.
