Canelo claims to have among his contacts Cristiano Ronaldo
But that's not all, in an interview with GQ Mexico and Latin America magazine, the boxer shared in a video on TikTok that the most famous contact he has on his cell phone is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, current striker for Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia.
In a brief video clip, the interviewer asks him: "What is the most famous person's contact you have?", to which the Mexican fighter, without flinching, Saul took a few seconds to choose and said: "Cristiano".
Canelo appears on a horse, dressed as a cowboy and the video has already generated almost four million views. In addition, in a second clip he answers another question that also generated significant traffic for the publication's account: "Canelo vs Batman?", the pugilist's answer was in favor of himself and has already generated 54 thousand reproductions.
Canelo Alvarez and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the athletes with the highest income generated in 2022. According to Forbes magazine, "El Bicho" generated $115 million in the year and the Mexican fighter, the not inconsiderable amount of $90 million.
