Canelo is getting ready for the 66th fight in his career, as he prepares to face “The Chosen One.” In his 19 years as a professional, he has been involved in many memorable fights, including his wins over Billy Joe Saunders, Gennady Golovkin (trilogy) and his dominating recent win over Jaime Munguía.

The unified super middleweight champion added: “But I feel great, I feel strong, I feel fast and everything is in [its right] place. I’d say four or five years more, but we’ll see.”
