Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, Mexico's boxing superstar, always shows up to his fights with a strong family presence. The Guadalajara native has become the face of Mexican boxing over the last 15 years, headlining major events in grand venues across the globe and raking in hundreds of millions of dollars.
Despite his fame and fortune, Canelo remains a family man at heart. His wife, Maria Fernanda, and their young daughter of the same name are fixtures at his bouts. Emily Cinnamon, Canelo's eldest daughter from a previous relationship with Karen Beltran, also frequently cheers on her dad from ringside.
Canelo's family tree spreads wide. He's the youngest of eight siblings - six boys and one girl. His brothers Ricardo, Gonzalo, Rigoberto, Daniel, Victor, and Ramon all had short stints as boxers, while his sister Ana Elda rounds out the bunch. Their mother, Ana Maria Barragan, hails from a middle-class family in Michoacan, Mexico.
The boxer's commitment to family was on full display during his 2022 trilogy fight against Gennady Golovkin in Las Vegas. Canelo brought along a whopping 40 family members to support him. The group included all eight of his siblings, 29 nephews and nieces, his mother, wife, and two of his daughters.
Canelo's family continues to grow. He's currently expecting his fifth child with his wife Maria Fernanda. While his other two children, Mia Ener and Saul Adiel, don't often appear at his fights, they're still part of his expanding brood.
The boxer's devotion to his loved ones shines through in his actions. He makes sure to include his extended family in his biggest moments, sharing his success with those closest to him. For Canelo, family isn't just important - it's everything.
