As the world’s best-selling cognac, Hennessey decided to join the boxing industry by signing an exclusive partnership with current WBC Light Middleweight Champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (and management/ promotions firm Golden Boy Promotions), through HOMBRE Magazine.
Hennessy will use Canelo’s upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. at the Las Vegas  T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, May 6th, as an opportunity to kick off their Golden Boy/ Canelo Alvarez partnership.

“Like Hennessy, the Alvarez family lives the mantra of ‘Never stop. Never settle.’ Canelo and Hennessy recognize the importance of community and family in building a successful and enduring legacy,” said Giles Woodyer, Senior Vice President at Hennessey, through an official statement.

Hennessy USAlvarez’s relationship with Hennessy also marks a groundbreaking moment for the Latin community. The fact that such an international label selected a fighter of Mexican heritage to join in this partnership is a major triumph for Latinos.

“We hope that consumers across all demographics will enjoy Canelo’s personal story of pushing the limits of potential. He embodies the spirit, determination and relentless pursuit that inspires us and we hope that it will inspire others,” Woodyer added.
