Brooks Koepka tipped by $200,000,000 boxing middleweight champion to be successful in the ring

Brooks Koepka had a tough time in American colors last week at the Ryder Cup 2023. He earned 1.5 points and returned with a record of 1-1-1 in the three matches he played. The Marco Simone Golf and Country Club event was a disastrous one for the LIV golfer and his team as they lost to Europe by 16.5 - 11.5.

The 33-year-old golfer claimed the top of the official World Golf Rankings back in 2018 after he won the CJ Cup. Since then he has been phenomenal, although he has slipped in the rankings after he joined the breakaway series.

However, the $200,000,000 net worth boxing middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez recently opened up on calling out Brooks Koepka to have a pretty career in the ring as well.

When asked about who would he pick among all the golfers who might have a great career in the boxing ring, Alvarez was quoted by talkSPORT as saying:

"I think maybe Brooks [Koepka]. I like him. Mentally, he's everything, and he's strong."
