Canelo vs Yildirim results, live stream fight coverage Share this story Handout Photo-USA TODAY Sports Pound-for-pound boxing superstar, Canelo Alvarez, makes his fastest turnaround in the past decade TONIGHT (Sat., Feb. 27, 2021) when — just two months after unifying the WBA and WBC Super middleweight titles — he takes on mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. After a lengthy reign atop the Middleweight division and a couple of forays into the higher weight classes, Alvarez officially moved to 168 pounds full-time in Dec. 2020 with a one-sided decision over unbeaten Callum Smith. The 30-year-old Mexican superstar has his sights set on undisputed status, and to that end already has a clash with WBO champ Billy Joe Saunders tentatively scheduled for May 8, 2021.
