Alvarez has a statue in his hometown

Saul Alvarez was honored with a life-size statue in his hometown in Mexico. During the opening ceremony, Canelo spoke about whether he would fight John Ryder in his next fight: “It would be interesting to fight him in London. It would be a very big fight. But the truth is that I have not yet agreed on the next opponent. I am focused on the rehabilitation of the hand, I will see how I feel in January and listen to what the doctor tells me.”

Alvarez also spoke about his criticism of Lionel Messi on social media: “I will always defend my country. Yes, there may have been some things that got out of hand. But this is part of the learning process. I'm fine, I'm glad that Argentina won. They deserve it and I congratulate them all."
