Canelo Alvarez teases when he could retire from boxing
Watch Canelo vs. Charlo on Showtime PPV (US only)

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has revealed when he is likely to consider retiring from the sport of boxing. 

The undisputed super middleweight champion is currently preparing for his 64th professional fight when he defends his four world titles against the undisputed light middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. But while Alvarez is 33-years-old, he has for a fighter of his age, a lot of miles on the clock. 

While some fans believe Alvarez is on the decline, he believes that he can carry on lacing up the gloves and fighting at the top level for a little while longer. 

"I think I’ve got four years more. Five years, maybe. I’ve been in professional boxing since I was 15-years-old. That’s almost 18 years fighting professionally," Alvarez told The Breakfast Club. 

“I always said 36 or 37, around that age [is when I would retire]. That’s going to be enough, it’s a lot of years in boxing.

"I’ll have accomplished a lot of things and then I’ll need to enjoy my life with my family and everything.”

Alvarez's fight with Charlo is the first of a three-fight deal with Al Haymon's PBC, and if the undisputed super middleweight champion is able to get his American opponent next month, then there are a myriad of opponents he could choose to face including David Benavidez and world middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.
