Canelo Alvarez vs Avni Yildirim- What’s in store for the fans?
Alvarez will clearly be the favorite against Yildirim. However, the Turkish can shatter his upcoming plans by landing an upset. Following the Feb 27 bout, Alvarez is also scheduled to face Billy Joe Saunders for a 168 lbs title unification fight in May.
If ‘Canelo’ loses the upcoming fight, it will turn Yildirim into the new WBA and WBC champion, citing him as a liable contender at the super middleweight title picture. It will also put a dent in the proposed fight between Alvarez and Saunders.
