In a story posted by the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer, he appears holding a mate in his hand. When asked, “What are you drinking?” Canelo Álvarez smiles and responds, “Mate, to have energy, reduce inflammation, it helps with many things…” explaining the benefits of this drink, which is a popular infusion in South America and consumed by many soccer players.
Mate is an infusion made from the leaves of the yerba mate plant, served in a container that shares its name, and hot water is added to prepare the infusion. There are several benefits to drinking it, as Canelo explained in his social media post. It is consumed by many professional footballers who carry it with them everywhere, and it is traditionally a reason for gathering in the morning or afternoon. Even Lionel Messi himself released his own kit for drinking it.

In November 2024, Messi announced a collaboration with Stanley for a pink thermos and mate set, in true Inter Miami style, as a tribute to the relationship the Argentine star has with this infusion. Now, another champion like Canelo Álvarez is also enjoying it.
While drinking his mate, the Mexican boxer is getting ready to face William Scull on May 3rd, a fight that will take place in Saudi Arabia, where the four super middleweight titles will be on the line. Get ready for a great fight.
