Saul “Canelo” Alvarez surprised his millions of followers by announcing that he has begun a new stage in his life: studying for a university degree. The multi-world boxing champion shared on his social networks that he entered the University of San Diego, making it clear with a motivational message that “it’s never too late to start”.
At 35 years of age, Canelo already has a career that few can match. He has been a world champion in four different divisions, has faced the best fighters of his generation and has built an important fortune thanks to boxing and his investments in different businesses. However, the Mexican never forgot that he had to leave school at a very young age to dedicate himself fully to the sport.
Canelo Alvarez goes back to school: “It’s never too late to start”
Canelo comes from a large family in Guadalajara, Jalisco, where several of his brothers were also boxers. From a young age, sport became his priority. The need to help his family financially and the dream of reaching the top forced him to leave school early. Now, with the maturity that experience gives and with his financial future assured, he decided to return to school.
In his post, Canelo showed his first day of university with a smiling photo and a positive message. For many fans, this decision represents a life lesson: no matter your age or achievements, there is always room to keep learning and growing as a person.
What does this step mean for Canelo?
Beyond boxing, Canelo Alvarez has proven to be a man of ambition. He has invested in different businesses and built a solid image outside the ring. Returning to college is a sign that he is seeking to continue his education, expand his knowledge and perhaps prepare for the stage that will come after he hangs up his gloves.
The news has been well received by Mexican fans, who see Canelo not only as a great champion, but also as a person who continues to evolve. In a world where many sportsmen and women retire without having finished their studies, Canelo’s decision inspires thousands of young people who dream of combining sport and education.
For now, Canelo will continue to combine his training with university classes. His boxing career continues, but he is also opening a new academic chapter that shows that it is never too late to fulfill pending goals.
