Boxing champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez” hosted his Official After-Fight Party at Jewel at Aria on Saturday night after unanimously defeating opponent Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in one of the most-anticipated bouts of the year.
Alvarez made his way to the nightclub, which celebrates its first anniversary this month, with his girlfriend, Fernanda Gomez, and they posed for photographs on the red carpet before entering the nightspot, where they were seated inside the DJ booth.
Shortly after settling into the booth, Alvarez was greeted by a parade of cocktail waitresses dressed in boxing robes and holding up signs that read “The Champ Is Here” while the room chanted his name. Alvarez smiled and posed for photographs with Gomez by his side.
Alvarez stood at the front of the DJ booth waving and smiling and signed a number of boxing gloves for a few partygoers. Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya, who now works as Alvarez’s promoter, also celebrated at Jewel, posed for photographs and enjoyed cocktails.
