Boxing’s landscape is changing. Canelo Alvarez, striding towards the ring, embodies a striking anomaly amidst the pre-fight turmoil. Imagine a unique scene: Alvarez, the Mexican boxing titan, sways in rhythm to a heartfelt ballad. His lighthearted singing contrasts with the usual strenuous training ahead of an eminent bout.
As Alvarez’s face-off with Jermell Charlo draws near, their divergent styles paint an intriguing picture.

In contrast, Alvarez balances his time between leisurely golf games and soulful Mexican melodies.
An intriguing question arises: Can serenity and harmony, embodied by golf and music, ensure victory against Charlo’s intense drive? Time holds the answer.
