CANELO ALVAREZ proved he is more than just a knockout in the ring by producing an incredible shot on the golf course at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The Mexican, 31, is coming off a blockbuster 2021 in which he claimed the undisputed super-middleweight crown.

Canelo Alvarez is just as much a knockout with a golf club as he is with the gloves on

The Mexican star was just inches away from an stunning hole-in-one at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am

After adding the IBF super middleweight title to his collection by defeating Caleb Plant in November, the superstar is taking some much-deserved time off from training.

But he is refusing to sit at home during his break and is this week taking part – along with a host of other celebrities – in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament.

Canelo discovered his love of golf during the coronavirus pandemic and it quickly became one of his favourite hobbies.

The icon has already participated in two celebrity golf competitions and even took top honours in the 2021 BMW Charity Pro-Am tournament.

This year’s event united top golfers, including US Ryder Cup team-mates Patrick Cantlay, Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger, alongside some star-studded celebs.

CBS then showed that Canelo is the Round Five leader and heading to the final of this tournament.

He was asked how he got so good, Canelo replied: “Practice. Four hours every day. It’s the only way to get better.”

The multi-weight champ then lined up a shot as part of a million-dollar challenge that would see anyone who hit a hole-in-one be able to donate the huge windfall to a charity of their choice.

He then produced an incredible shot that ended up just inches from the hole.

The ball came back off the back portion of the green to land just 11 inches from the hole following the 82ft shot.

He celebrated by holding his club up in the air before taking off his hat to acknowledge the cheering crowd.

Free agent Canelo has recently been offered a pay-per-view return by Al Haymon’s PBC banner against middleweight champion Jermall Charlo.

But Eddie Hearn put forward a two-fight deal, starting with a shot at Dmitry Bivol’s WBA light-heavyweight title and a trilogy bout with Gennady Golovkin.

The man in charge of mapping out Canelo’s next move is trainer and manager Eddy Reynoso.

And he is leaning towards unbeaten American Charlo, due to his favoured marketability.
