Netflix has officially greenlit a feature-length documentary following the career of Canelo Alvarez.

The project, which is being produced by Unanimous Media, will specifically center on the trilogy between Canelo and Gennady Golovkin. Canelo ended the rivalry with two wins and a split draw. While a release date has not yet been set, the film is expected to serve as a major promotional pillar for Canelo’s return to the ring on September 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The event, titled “Mexico Against the World,” will mark the inaugural card for Canelo Promotions. Canelo has not competed since his unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford on September 13. Following that fight, Crawford became the undisputed king at 168 lbs before his retirement in December 2025, which made the belts vacant and prevented Canelo from getting a rematch. Canelo underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery in October 2025 after the Crawford fight, as fans await his return.
