LOL, he aligned himself with Matchroom boxing just to get this fight? This is an easy fight for Canelo, a no name fighter, why don't he just wait for the winner of the Caleb fight or chase Billy Joe Saunders? Doesn't make any sense at all.

Anyhow, probably just another busy fight for Canelo before his supposedly return to fight in his native Mexico Cinco de Mayo.

I agree with this, his opponent will be easy for him. I mean can't they find him a worthy opponent? I'm not underestimating Avni Yildirim but this is obviously a mismatch for him. I think this is just for mere entertainment like that of Mayweather fight this year. If he lost to that kind of fighter next month, then that would be a total blowout for him and his career will be in jeopardy after that. Although his opponent is unknown, he should not lower his defense since anything can happen in the ring. He just needs to end this fight as usual.

This is most probably a walk in the park for Canelo. And I guess he personally sees it this way. Canelo's last fight was just a month ago. He barely had time to take a rest from all the trainings, sparring sessions, and the fight itself and now he's gonna be starting training once again. It can only mean one thing and that is Yildirim is a very easy opponent. He's just a lowly prey in this fight.

Yildirim's BoxRec account status has not even been updated to active yet. LOL! The man has got nothing to lose and everything to win in this fight. He's got the opportunity to face Canelo. He's got the paycheck. He's got the chance to prove himself. He's already a winner so to speak. But I can see no power in him that would create one extremely lucky punch to knock Canelo out. Which is probably his only chance.

I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

I'm almost certain it is lower than that.

If this is the mandatory so be it, Canelo should have an easy time against Yildirim. And Yildirim is a win-win situation here, Canelo is the cash cow now so he is lucky, like winning a lottery, and then *potentially* upset Canelo.

Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

And that makes him the underdog alongside his stats.

But for Yildirim, it's a dream come true. As he stated, he's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and it's not about fighting Canelo but the title itself, the WBC world championship belt, the world famous green, and gold belt, the biggest prize in boxing as he claimed.

Let's see if he can surprise the world with an upset although Canelo shouldn't have a problem winning this.

It's a mandatory defense title and Canelo can't do something about that.

Just two months after his dominant performance over Callum Smith, Canelo Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) returns to the ring to face Avni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs). This is just getting his mandatory fight out of the way and I don't expect Canelo to have any problems with the Turkish fighter. Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

The fight will take place on February 27 in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium.
