Alvarez vs. Yildirim for WBC and WBA titles on February 27 in Guadalajara

Andrew Karlov Dec. 27, 2020, 3:50 p.m.

On February 27 at the evening in Guadalajara Saul Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) will fight Avni Yildirim (21-2, 14 KOs). This was announced by the trainer of the Mexican boxer Eddie Reinoso. For Canelo, it will be a mandatory defense of the World Boxing Council's super middleweight title he won last week.

The Mexican fighter has only had one pro fight this year, and the fight with Callum Smith was his return to the ring after more than a year hiatus. Next year, 30-year-old Canelo will be able to fight up to three times.

Saul Alvarez terminated his contract with the DAZN platform a few weeks ago and is currently a free agent. The February evening in Mexico will be hosted in collaboration with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.
