Canelo Alvarez – an ambassador of the sport

Alvarez has hung around the sport for a while and been a champion in every weight class he has boxed in. Currently, he’s continuing his daunting stroll at the 168-pound division and he’s going fairly well with the same.

Alvarez put on a clinical performance in his last outing against the Turkish boxer, Avni Yildirim. It took him just 3 rounds to dismantle his lanky opponent. It was Canelo’s first major title-defense at that weight class, and he unquestionably showcased his in-ring audacities.
