Inside the Ring: A Candid Conversation with Keith Thurman and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez
Keith Thurman: Hey Saul! It’s always great catching up with you, man. How’s everything going?
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez: Hey Keith! I’m doing well, thanks. Busy as always, you know. Training, maintaining the diet, the usual. How about you? How’s the hand holding up after your last fight?
Keith Thurman: It’s getting better, thanks for asking. Working through the rehab, but you know how it is—we fighters have that never-back-down spirit. Speaking of which, your last bout was intense! How do you keep pushing the limits fight after fight?
Canelo: It’s in our blood, man. We boxers are built different. I’ve got this crazy drive to be the best, and I know you do too. What’s next on your radar? Taking another title shot?
Thurman: You bet. Got my eyes set on reclaiming that welterweight title. It’s been a wild journey, but there’s no other place I’d rather be than back on top. Speaking of which, you’ve been conquering multiple weight classes! How do you balance the sheer physical demands of jumping weight divisions?
Canelo: Ha! Lots of hard work and discipline, Keith. It’s a challenge, but overcoming challenges is what makes the victories sweeter. Speaking of challenges, have you ever considered moving up a weight class yourself?
Thurman: I’ve thought about it! I mean, who knows what the future holds? Right now, I’ve got some unfinished business in welterweight. But hey, never say never. By the way, I’ve been hearing a lot about your new promotion company. How’s that venture treating you?
Canelo: A lot of work but super rewarding. It’s exciting to support upcoming fighters, giving them the platform they deserve. Plus, it keeps me connected to the sport in a different way. Ever thought about what you’d do post-boxing?
Thurman: I’ve had my thoughts, maybe get into commentary or training the next generation of fighters. There’s a lot to explore. But for now, it’s all about the grind, getting back to 100%. It’s all about making those ‘One Time’ moments happen again!
Canelo: That’s the spirit, champ. You’ve always been resilient. Can’t wait to see you back in action. Let’s keep pushing each other and keep this sport alive and kicking!
Thurman: Absolutely, Saul. Here’s to more epic battles and keeping the fans excited. Until next time, compañero!
Canelo: Until next time, Keith. Stay strong!
