For the ninth time, Steph Curry will tee up for the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood in Lake Tahoe. For the second straight year, the Golden State Warriors guard is building a new tradition for the event with a championship boxer.
At the 2020 edition of the tournament, Curry squared off against super-middleweight boxing champion Canelo Alvarez for a sparring match on the golf course.
Fast forward to 2021; the pair met in a warm-up round before the tournament. Sparring quickly ensued between the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and Canelo. Luckily for Curry and the Warriors, Canelo didn’t connect with one of his powerful counter punches.
