Canelo's Mexico Return Plans
Alvarez has fought sporadically in Mexico during his professional run, with most of his marquee bouts staged in Nevada. His last fight on Mexican soil came years ago, while his recent championship defenses have all taken place stateside.
The four-division champion has not announced a retirement date, but his comments suggest he is mapping out the final stretch of a career that has spanned nearly two decades. Alvarez holds wins over multiple hall-of-fame-caliber opponents and remains one of boxing's biggest pay-per-view draws.
