CANELO ALVAREZ is set to launch a TACO restaurant in America with brother Ricardo.
The Mexican is boxing’s highest-paid fighter, earning at leats £50million for his fights against Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant last year.
But Canelo is a keen entrepreneur and in 2018 launched his taco restaurant called El Pastor Del Rica Taqueria in Zapopan.
His new Stateside location will be in Chula Vista, CA, just south of San Diego, where the boxer bases himself while training.
Canelo, 31, last fought in November, beating Plant, 29, in 11 rounds, six months after his eight-round win over Saunders, 32.
He is a promotional and network free agent which has sparked a battle to secure his services.
Mystery American boxing mogul Al Haymon had offered a £33m pay-per-view headliner with unbeaten middleweight Jermall Charlo, 31.
But Eddie Hearn, who Canelo has worked with in recent fights, put together a two-part package.

And according to ESPN, the four-weight world champion is braced to accept Hearn’s proposal.
It would see him fight for Dmitry Bivol, 31, for the Russian’s WBA light-heavyweight title on May 7.
And following that would be a long-awaited trilogy bout with rival Gennady Golovkin, 39, eyed for September 17.
The pair contentiously drew in 2017 before Canelo won the rematch a year later, with both fights selling over 1m PPVs.
