Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has made history after securing a second undisputed title at super middleweight after a unanimous decision victory over William Scull in Riyadh.
It may not have been the most exciting result of the veteran star's career, but his latest triumph has set him up for a blockbuster with Terence Crawford later this year.
Having weathered a new experience in Saudi Arabia, the star will reunited with his head trainer, a man who steps away from the spotlight whenever he laces up the gloves.
Ahead of a second shot at undisputed honours, DAZN News profiles Eddy Reynoso, the man behind Alvarez's success.

Eddy Reynoso is a Mexican boxing trainer and manager.
He will mostly be known for being the man who has helped guide Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to world titles in four weight classes, including an undisputed title at super middleweight.
Reynoso's boxing journey began at the age of 22 when he was certified by CONADE (Certification System of the Sports Coach) to become a professional trainer.

Eddy Reynoso's link-up with Canelo began when the Mexican star originally turned professional in October 2005, at just 15-years-old.
Working with his father Chepo, Reynoso and Alvarez's first shot at a world title came in 2011. Here he beat Matthew Hatton, the brother of British boxing legend Ricky Hatton, by unanimous decision to become the WBC world light middleweight champion at just 21.
Since beating Hatton, Alvarez has won world title belts at middleweight, super middleweight and even light heavyweight.
Reynoso and Alvarez have only suffered two losses in their boxing partnership;.
Those came against the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2013 and Dmitry Bivol nine years later.

Eddy Reynoso's stable of fighters train at his own gym, House of Boxing, which is based in San Diego, California.
Reynoso always has a revolving door of fighters and at one time was training the charismatic Ryan Garcia and former unified world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr.
Recently, Teofimo Lopez and Garcia, who both fight on the historic Times Square fight card on May 2 exclusively on DAZN PPV, were set to be trained by Reynoso for those contests.
But circumstances, with Canelo now fighting the very next day in Riyadh, have meant that this will not be possible.
