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.

About Hennessy 
In 2017, the Maison Hennessy celebrates over two and half centuries of an exceptional adventure that has linked two families, the Hennessys and the Fillioux, for seven generations and spanned five continents. It began in the French region of Cognac, the seat from which the Maison has constantly passed down the best the land has to give, from one generation to the next. In particular, such longevity is thanks to those people, past and present, who have ensured Hennessy's success both locally and around the world. Hennessy's success and longevity are also the result of the values the Maison has upheld since its creation: unique savoir-faire, a constant quest for innovation, and an unwavering commitment to Creation, Excellence, Legacy, and Sustainable Development. Today, these qualities are the hallmark of a House – a crown jewel in the LVMH Group – that crafts iconic and prestigious Cognacs.

Hennessy is imported and distributed in the U.S. by Moët Hennessy USA. Hennessy distills, ages and blends spanning a full range: Hennessy V.S, Hennessy Black, V.S.O.P Privilège, X.O, Paradis, Paradis Impérial and Richard Hennessy. For more information and where to purchase/ engrave, please visit Hennessy.com
