Canelo Alvarez’s First Public Appearance Since Crawford Loss Has Boxing Fans Talking

Originally posted on KO on SI | By Grant Young | Last updated Oct 13, 2025 2:23 PM ET

Canelo Alvarez has kept a very low profile ever since his defeat to Terence Crawford exactly one month ago, on September 13.

This isn't necessarily out of the norm for Canelo. The former undisputed super middleweight champion isn't very active on social media, and certainly doesn't keep his huge fan base updated about what he's getting up to daily.

However, given that Canelo suffered the third loss of his professional career against Crawford and lost all of his 168-pound belts, his not being in the public eye in the days and weeks after fighting raised some concerns among fans that he was taking the loss hard.

But Canelo taking the defeat tough doesn't seem to be the case at all, if the recent video of Canelo making his first public appearance since the Crawford loss is any indication.

Canelo's daughter Emily celebrated her 18th birthday over the weekend, and Canelo made a heartfelt Instagram post that was captioned (in translated English), "Happy 18th my beautiful girl @emilyc.alvarez I will always be here for you, may this new stage bring you everything you expect from life I LOVE YOU ❤️".

"Canelo dont look like a man who is DWELLING on his loss to Bud. He's moving on its the canelo fanatics who can't move on. Canelo has solidified his legacy in boxing he will go down in the books as one of the greats ," wrote another X comment.
