Mia Ener Alvarez is rumored to be one of Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez’s four children. Mia Ener’s birth has been the source of one of the most major controversies involving the boxer. Canelo does not shy away from controversies, and his children have different mothers.
The boxer’s eldest child, Emily Cinnamon, was born to Karen Beltran. His other child, Maria Fernanda Alvarez, was born in 2017. Canelo had her with Fernanda Gomez. In 2019, he had Saúl Adiel Álvarez with Nelda Sepulveda.
This piece looks at his daughter, Mia Ener, who is rumored to be his second child. He allegedly had Mia with Valeria Quioiz whom he had a brief relationship in 2014. Since Mia’s birth, there has been a controversy surrounding her and the famous Mexican boxer.
Who Is Mia Ener Alvarez?
Mía Ener Álvarez was born to Valeria Quiroz in 2014, and Saul Canelo Alvarez was rumored for a long time to be her father. Valeria and Canelo had a brief relationship between 2014 and 2015, but Mia’s date of birth is unclear. But may believe Valeria gave birth to her the same year she dated Canelo.
With fame and fortune on his side, Canelo has successfully attracted the attention of many beautiful women. He has landed high-profile relationships with several women before settling with Fernanda Gomez, or at least, for now.
Many believe that dating Mia’s mum, Valeria Quiroz was a great undoing for the boxer as she was previously involved with drug lord El Chapo. Though their relationship didn’t last long, they did their best to conceal having a baby together. But dating numerous women was a recipe for rumors to make their way into the media.
The news broke that the two had a daughter, but Canelo denied it at every chance. This made Mia’s paternity one of the most widely circulated rumors of 2015.
The boxer has never responded directly to the allegations. Instead, he took several opportunities to state that he only had two daughters, Emily Cinnamon Alvarez and María Fernanda Álvarez, and a son, Saúl Adiel Álvarez.
So naturally, it is only normal for people to want to determine if the rumors are accurate. Also, the more Canelo tried to deny his connection to Mia, the more the speculation intensified. Today, many people still believe that Canelo Alvarez has four children.
Why Did Canelo Alvarez Deny Being Mia’s Father?
As mentioned above, Mia Alvarez was reportedly born to Canelo Alvarez and his ex-girlfriend Valeria Quiroz. However, at the time of her birth, Canelo was supposedly in a relationship with Marisol Gonzalez, a news reporter.
So, the news of Mia’s birth was pushed to the sidelines as the boxer did not want his name to be tainted with such allegations. Moreover, in an interview with Graham Bessinger, Canelo corrected him when he said he had four children, saying he only had two girls and a son.
According to some reports, the boxer later accepted Mia as his daughter after Valeria took him to court. Also, his Wikipedia bio lists her as his daughter, but we could not find any statement where he confirmed being Mia’s father at the time of this publication.
Furthermore, Valeria has never made any public statements about the paternity of her daughter. She prefers to keep her life and child away from the media. However, as per La Verdad, Mia Ener Alvarez’s mother is now married, and the young girl reportedly has half-siblings with whom she is growing up.
Who Is Canelo Alvarez?
Santos Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez Barragán, born July 18, 1990, is a Mexican professional boxer in the Light Middleweight division. Canelo, a four-division world champion, is regarded as the best boxer in the world, pound-for-pound.
He has won multiple world championships in four weight classes, from light middleweight to light heavyweight, including unified titles in three of those weight classes and lineal titles in two. Canelo is the first and only boxer in history to become an undisputed champion at super middleweight, having held the WBA (Super), WBC, and Ring magazine titles since 2020 and the IBF and WBO titles since 2021.
Álvarez is known as an excellent counterpuncher, exploiting openings in his opponents’ guards while avoiding punches with head and body movement. He is also known as a formidable body puncher.
As of May 2022, Álvarez is ranked as the world’s best active boxer, pound for pound, by BoxRec and the Boxing Writers Association of America; fourth by ESPN; fifth by the TBRB; and sixth by The Ring. He is also ranked as the world’s best active super-middleweight by BoxRec, The Ring, TBRB, and ESPN.
While Canelo is not a heavyweight boxer like Mike Tyson and Muhammed Ali, he has done quite well for himself, and maybe one day, Mia can proudly call him dad.
