Canelo’s excitement for the Icon Series 2022 tournament
“I am excited to represent Mexico as part of the ROTW (Rest of the World) team under Captain Els and can’t wait to compete against the U.S. team at such an iconic venue, Liberty National,” stated Canelo for the organization.
To participate in this tournament, these athletes must be considered “exceptionally talented” and “born winners with competition running through their veins” at the top of the field.
