Follow Us
Canelo Alvarez just had one of the best fights of his career, as he took out Avni Yildirim via a third-round TKO in an absolutely lopsided show. The P4P King successfully retained his WBA and WBC 168 lbs straps, paving the way for a title unification clash against WBO champion, Billy Joe Saunders, on May 8. So, it seems that Alvarez has enriched his legacy with the outcome of the fight.
But, that’s not the only thing he has achieved. Apart from enriching his professional resume, Alvarez has bagged a lucrative paycheck. Meanwhile, Yildirim has also earned a commendable sum considering his below-average performance against one of the best of the era.
