Canelo Álvarez is ready for his close-up…

The 32-year-old Mexican professional boxer, winner of multiple world championships in four weight classes, appears in the trailer for Creed III.

Alvarez is making his acting debut in the feature film starring Michael B. Jordan.

For the latest edition in the boxing film franchise, Jordan says it was important to make Creed III more “honest to the sport of boxing” by incorporating elements of Mexican culture, with the participation of Alvarez.

The Mexican boxing star is one of the biggest names in the combat sport and predecessors like countryman Julio César Chávez helped raise the notoriety of the sport.

“We just looked back, you know, it’s the history of boxing, and the Mexican culture is such a pillar within the sport of boxing and felt like there wasn’t really a lot of representation throughout the films in that type of way. And it just didn’t seem like the reality I lived in. So I wanted to incorporate Mexican culture into this film,” Jordan said during a press conference, according to Slash Film.

Former boxer Tony Bellew was in the first Creed as Creed’s opponent “Pretty” Ricky Conlan. Now it’ll be Canelo’s time to get in front of a camera in Creed III.
