On 8 May 2021 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Canelo Alvarez beat Billy Joe Saunders in front of 73,126 people — the largest crowd at an indoor sporting event in the United States since the start of the pandemic. Six months later he had all four super middleweight belts.
No Boxing No Life has followed the Mexican since the beginning. It takes the front panel here, printed in gold, with the CA monogram underneath.
The gold print, near and far
The text runs over three lines — NO above BOXING, then NO and LIFE — framed by small stars, with the CA monogram directly below. The gold is matt, with no metallic sheen. At four metres you read BOXING and pick out the monogram; at one metre the smaller words and the border stars come through.
Cut and adjustment
Pre-formed curved peak with a white sandwich trim on the edge, soft 9 cm / 3.5 in crown, rear adjuster strap. The measurement table shared by every curved peak cap sits on the Canelo washed cap listing.
Technical specifications
Worth knowing
Matt gold reads strongest on the dark grounds: black, navy and blue give the cleanest lettering. On sand and white the print works tonally and shows itself from closer in.
Worth a look
The Canelo washed cap carries the same logo on washed cotton, if you want a broken-in finish. The crown version adds a gold crown above the monogram, and the Canelo Alvarez cap puts the name in full across the front. Everything sits in the boxing caps collection.
Frequently asked questions
What does No Boxing No Life mean?
Literally: without boxing, no life. It is the motto associated with Saúl Canelo Alvarez, worn on his kit and his equipment, alongside the CA monogram — his initials, the emblem he wears on his gloves.
What size boxing cap should I get?
The rear strap covers 55–59 cm / 21.7–23.2 in. Measure with a tape about 1 cm / 0.4 in above the eyebrows, around the back of the skull over the bump, without pulling tight.
Which colourway should I pick?
Dark grounds — black, navy and blue — give the strongest contrast with gold lettering, readable at four metres. White, sand, grey and pink keep the print quieter, coming through at one to two metres.
How do you look after a gold print?
Hand wash at 30 °C / 86 °F maximum with a mild soap, dabbing the lettering rather than rubbing it. Dry in the shade: repeated friction and direct sun are the two things that dull a gold print fastest.
Is the CA monogram the same as the Canelo logo?
Yes. The two letters are his initials, Canelo Alvarez, drawn as a single angular mark. It appears on his gloves, his trunks and his corner gear, and it is what you see under the lettering here.
All eight colourways sit under the same listing: pick yours from the drop-down above.
