How much is the Bugatti watch Canelo Álvarez wore before the fight with William Scull worth?
"Canelo" Álvarez, in addition to boxing, has established himself as a style icon. Ahead of his face-to-face with William Scull, the Guadalajara native drew attention with his look: an AMIRI polo shirt and, in particular, an exclusive high-end watch that could be worth more than several cars combined.
During his pre-fight press conference, 'Canelo' revealed that he was wearing a Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Black Titanium , a piece valued between $350,000 and $380,000 . It is not a simple accessory, but a jewel of engineering born from a collaboration between the watchmaking house and the Bugatti brand.

Álvarez was fighting outside of the United States or Mexico for the first time and had to make many adjustments.“I'm collaborating with them. We hope to launch a 'Canelo x Jacob & Co.' model soon, so that's how we're getting started,” he shared.
