Canelo is aiming for the IBF world championship in this highly anticipated unification bout, and he hopes to collect his fourth super-middleweight crown in the process.Nothing matters more to the 31-year-old than championship gold, albeit he has rightly acquired a tremendous fortune over his sparkling career as a professional boxer since he was 15 years old.
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t relish in war’s prizes; the four-weight world champion lives large in his vast Guadalajara estate.
During his interview and guided tour with Graham Bensinger, Canelo displayed the multi-million dollar estate and a selection of its numerous expensive possessions.But the infamously private boxer was eager to demonstrate the fruits of one’s labor, so it wasn’t all for show.
“I used to sell ice cream on buses, and now look at this,” he exclaimed, gesturing toward a Ferrari Testarossa in his garage that he seldom drives.
“I saw a Testarossa in the movies when I was a kid and I have it,” he boasted.
Along with the 1984 classic, his amazing collection also includes a Tesla, Rolls-Royce, and a Shelby.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing poker, which he does frequently. He also owns a two-story wardrobe with over 600 pairs of shoes.
Not to mention the 38 horses he keeps on the ranch and the off-road buggies he uses frequently to travel about the area at speeds of 100mph.
Canelo informed Bensigner that his goal after boxing is to become a millionaire through business, despite his impeccable taste in automobiles, homes, and hobbies.
I hail from humble origins; I didn’t go to college. However, I enjoy learning, and I enjoy learning a lot of topics.
Plus, I’m now juggling a lot of stuff. It would be possible for me to retire and live a life of tranquility.
However, boxing is a part of my life that I like. Stay with me for as long as I am able. I’ve always hoped that boxing would be more than a means to an end—something I like doing for fun and enjoyment alone.
In other words, I never box for financial gain but rather because it’s something I enjoy doing. Land is one of my favorite things. Also, observing friends is a source of it.
