Hennessy Partners With Golden Boy Promotions To Celebrate "Canelo" Alvarez & Shared Commitment To Country & Family

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hennessy, the world's best-selling Cognac, and Golden Boy Promotions, the first national Hispanic-owned boxing promotional company, announce formal partnership that brings to life the spirit of Hennessy's "Never stop. Never settle." mantra, with content that tells the remarkable story of Saul "Canelo" Álvarez. Like Hennessy, the Mexican boxer epitomizes the importance of family and the pursuit of excellence.

The integrated partnership features original content, in addition to digital micro-videos, special events, and cross-channel promotions intended to inspire others to "Never stop. Never settle."

The similarities between Hennessy and Golden Boy are striking: both truly live by the "Never stop. Never settle." mantra and recognize the importance of community and family in building a successful and enduring legacy. As the youngest of seven brothers, all of whom are professional boxers, Canelo is the only one to become a world champion. He and his Golden Boy network represent an enduring love for the sport of boxing and a dedication to family and country, much like the Hennessy family itself.

"For me, boxing isn't just a passion – it's a family legacy," said Canelo. "Working with my Golden Boy team and Hennessy is the perfect way to celebrate that. It is my time to inspire others with my 'Never stop. Never settle.' story."

In recognition of the millions of boxing fans that will be cheering across the globe this weekend, Hennessy recommends enjoying this Canelo-inspired cocktail while viewing at home:

Citrus Cross

• 1 ½ oz. Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Cognac
• ½ oz. Triple sec or orange liqueur
• Splash orange juice
• Top with lemon-lime soda

Combine Hennessy, orange liqueur, and orange juice in a rocks glass with ice; top with lemon-lime soda.
