Once he landed, Canelo was driven to his hotel where he went through COVID safety protocols — including a temperature check and walk through one of those sanitizing misters.

Canelo is set to fight the undefeated Englishman (27-0) on Saturday night at the Alamodome.
Promoters say, “A limited amount of fans will be in attendance” due to the pandemic.
It’s been a whirlwind month for Canelo — who split with longtime fight promoter Oscar De La Hoya after some issues with CA’s famous $365 MILLION contract.
Alvarez officially split with Golden Boy in early November — and quickly booked the fight with Smith.
Canelo is 53-1-2 as a pro — his only loss was to Floyd Mayweather in the very early days of Canelo’s career.
