The Mexican superstar is so obsessed with golf he’s even said that he will play EVERY day when he retires from the squared circle.
Canelo told Box Azteca: “Boxing is my life. My body asks me to fight. I keep training because I love boxing.
“I train whether I have a fight or not – 36 years old, for me that’s a good time to retire, 37 years old at the max.
“I’ll dedicate myself to my business and play golf every day.”
Aaron Dexheimer, one of Canelo’s golf instructors, said: “Alvarez loves golf just as much as anyone I’ve ever seen.
“The one thing that sticks out to me is his dedication to improvement.
“It’s pretty amazing to watch his confidence.”
