Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has officially unloaded his San Diego County home.

Alvarez, who is currently training for his fight against World Boxing Council middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, sells his luxury home for $6 million, Los Angeles Times reported. The Mexican boxer reportedly bought the home for $5.8 million two years ago and tried to sell it for $6.5 million in May, according to Realtor.com. Although the deal was finalized for less than half a million dollars of its original asking price, he will still get a $200,000 profit from the closed sale.

The 25-year-old warrior is represented by Mary Heon of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage as his listing agent. Laura Barry of Barry Estates brokered the transaction for the buyer.

The next owner of the San Diego County abode will be delighted of its various interesting features. The 11,970-square-foot private home displays six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The house built in 2007 also showcases a formal dining room, a great room with an airy ambiance, a library, a personal gym, a home theater, a billiards room and a gourmet kitchen equipped with an oven.

Apart from the main house, there is a guest house that comes with one bedroom. Notable interior details include stone flooring, high ceilings and spacious living areas.

The grounds are highlighted with mature palm trees and a lovely swimming pool with a spa.

"Canelo's" next challenge

The young Mexican, who just defeated James Kirkland in May via a third-round knockout in Texas, per BoxRec, is preparing himself for another challenge. His showdown against the Puerto Rican titleholder Cotto is very important as it is his chance to regain a champion status.

Several boxing analysts and even boxers are placing their bets on Alvarez to be declared the winner next month.

However, "Canelo" doesn't not let these praises make him overconfident of his chances, Boxing Scene noted.

"I can't trust in that, I don't trust in bets. I only care about training 100 percent and continuing working hard. I will continue my job as I have done for being ready for my commitment with Cotto," Alvarez said.

He is very determined to triumph in his next fight as it highlights the huge rivalry in boxing between Mexico and Puerto Rico.

"Without any doubt, I know I have a great responsibility for all those great fights between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. I think that is here, inside the gym where you take responsibility for the commitment," the rising star said.

The Cotto-Canelo title bout will reportedly be held at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Nov. 21.
