Personal life

edit

Outside of boxing, Alvarado enjoys playing soccer, spending time with his family, and watching movies.[2]

Professional career

edit

Growing up, Alvarado was always a fan of boxing, specifically Oscar De La Hoya. Alvarado said that meeting De La Hoya and signing with Golden Boy Promotions was always a dream of his.[3]

Alvarado turned professional on 2 May 2008, scoring a second-round knockout victory over Cristobal Ramos at the Casino Pharaohs in Managua, Nicaragua. He compiled a record of 31–8 (20 KO) before facing and defeating Andrew Cancio in a rematch to win the WBA (Regular) super featherweight title.[4]

Alvarado suffered a loss to Yuriorkis Gamboa. After that loss, Alvarado said that he learned a lot and that he should trust his skills [5]

Leading into his fight with Roger Gutierrez on January 2, Alvarado and his camp took all the proper precautions to avoid a positive COVID-19 test so the fight can go on for his first World Title defense.[6]
