Canelo's life got a lot busier just four weeks ago. His partner gave birth to their daughter, Eva Victoria. The new arrival threw a wrench in his training plans.
"I stopped training to be there for the birth of my daughter. It was beautiful, but then I had to go back to camp"
The boxer found it tough to leave his baby and partner. But the new addition to his family fired him up even more for the upcoming match.
"I do it all for them. I will win this battle for them."
Canelo repeated this phrase twice, underlining how much his family means to him.
At 34, Alvarez has spent two decades in the boxing spotlight. He turned pro as a teenager and has racked up impressive wins at Madison Square Garden and in Las Vegas.
Now a father of four, Canelo juggles his family life with his demanding career. He explained how he manages this balance:
"When camp comes around, my family understands that it's my job. After the fight, I will devote all my time to them"
The boxer plans to spend all of Sunday with his newborn daughter, no matter the outcome of Saturday's fight.
Canelo admits he sometimes dreams about a life away from the cameras and pressure. But he's grateful for his success and the support of his fans.
"Life would be easier, but I appreciate everyone who recognizes my achievements. When I started boxing, I wanted this. I can't regret it"
As millions tune in to watch, Canelo will step into the ring in Las Vegas. He'll carry with him the weight of his achievements, the expectations of his fans, and most importantly, the love for his family.
