    All mothers across the world, regardless of race, would find it hard supporting their child’s boxing career. While they might end up being there for them if they truly have a passion for it, it would be hard for them to actively watch their fights whether or not they are the ones getting beaten or doing the beating. For Ana Maria Barragan, however, she appears to be cut from a different cloth as seven of her boys are professional boxers. The most popular of the lot is Canelo Alvarez, the first boxer in history to become the undisputed champion at super middleweight.

    Who Is Canelo Alvarez’s Mother?

    Ana Maria Barragan is a Mexican woman, however, she is believed to be of Irish descent. This is because she has red (ginger) hair and Ireland has the highest per capita percentage of redheads in the world.

    In the mid-1800s, Irish soldiers found their way to Mexico as a part of the Saint Patrick’s Battalion that fought for the country in the Mexican-American War. These soldiers remained in Mexico and so anyone in the country with red hair is generally believed to be a descendant of them. Ana’s son Canelo gave credence to this claim when he revealed in an interview that they might have been an Irish grandfather somewhere back in his past.

    Ana Maria Barragan Married Santos Alvarez Sometime In The 1970s

    While the exact date of Ana Maria Barragan’s marriage to Santos Alvarez is not known, it is believed that they wedded some time in the 1970s. During the course of their marriage, the couple had eight children; seven boys and a girl. It is widely written that all of Ana’s boys ended up becoming professional boxers. They made history when all of them appeared to fight on the same card; with four being victorious and three losing their fights.

    The couple first made their home in Los Reyes, Michoacán before later moving to the outskirts of Guadalajara, Jalisco where some of their children, including Canelo, were born. The Alvarez family have since made their home at Juanacatlán, Jalisco where they owned a farm.

    According to a few reports, Ana Maria Barragan and her husband separated in 2005 when Canelo was 15 years old. It is not clear what led to the separation or if it is indeed true. Regardless, Ana continues to support her children as they conquer the world of boxing.
