Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez remains the benchmark for Mexican boxing and on Saturday he will seek to become the undisputed 168-pound champion for the second time against Cuban William Scull, something that no other Mexican fighter has achieved and is only the sixth in the world to achieve this milestone, which he obtained in 2021.
But in addition, the fighter originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, is quite a character, businessman, philanthropist and bon vivant, because when he is not in the ring, he also enjoys exclusive sports such as golf and horseback riding. But he also likes to spend time with his family: his wife and three daughters and son.
“I let [my daughter] paint my nails, put eye shadow on me, do my hair and leave it a mess. But what am I going to do?”, she said in a 2021 episode of ‘Red Table Talk: The Estefans‘, about raising her daughters.
However, all of his children are from different mothers, as before he became famous Canelo was a teenage father, and even had to wash cars and sell popsicles to support his eldest daughter, Emily Cinnamon.
Canelo is currently married to Fernanda Gomez, with whom he had his youngest daughter Maria Fernanda, the product of their marriage that dates back to 2021. Fernanda is also a businesswoman, model and influencer, with more than a million followers on Instagram.

Fernanda usually shares moments with her family, as well as the more personal side of Canelo.
