"Great way to injure yourself" - Canelo Alvarez's insane neck-strengthening exercise has fans shocked

Canelo Alvarez secured yet another dominant win to retain his undisputed super middleweight championship against Jermell Charlo just last month. However, the 33-year-old Mexican pugilist shows no signs of slowing down, as he's already immersed in an intense training regimen.

Alvarez can occasionally be observed placing a weight plate on his forehead and performing head curls, an exercise aimed at fortifying his chin and enhancing the durability of his neck.

A video of Canelo Alvarez engaging in yet another unconventional durability workout gained widespread attention on social media. In the clip, the undisputed super middleweight champion is depicted hanging himself upside down from a punching bag, all the while engaging in a neck-mobility exercise.

Canelo Alvarez is presently one of the standout icons in contemporary boxing. As a former pound-for-pound champion, he has secured numerous world titles across four different weight divisions, ranging from light middleweight to light heavyweight.

Alvarez holds a unique position in the annals of boxing history, being the only boxer to attain undisputed champion status in the 168 lbs weight class. Since 2020, he has consistently held the WBA, WBC, and Ring magazine titles, and he added the IBF and WBO belts to his collection in 2021.
