Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (54-1-2) is a four division world champion boxer, and he is looking to take another step towards being the undisputed champ. He is the current WBA, WBC and The Ring Super Middleweight champion, and this fight is a key step in his quest to become the best at 168 pounds. Before Canelo can move on to face the two remaining champions, he needs to defend his titles against his mandatory challenger.

Canelo was last in the ring just two months ago when he took out Callum Smith to win the three titles he is defending here. In sports, it’s common to wonder if an athlete or team is looking past their current opponent. Here, there is no question that Canelo is doing just that. He’s already announced his next fight against WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders in May, and he said he plans to fight four times in 2021. If anyone can pull it off, it’s Canelo but it would all have to start with winning here.

Avni “The Turkish Wolf” Yildirim (21-2) is the mandatory challenger for Canelo’s Super Middleweight titles, but it’s a bit of a mystery as to how he’s kept that ranking. He last fought over two years ago, and he lost that last fight against Anthony Dirrell. Yildirim is still an accomplished boxer and his only two losses both came in title fights, against Dirrell in 2019 and Chris Eubank Jr. in 2017. He has plenty of wins against fighters from his native Turkey as well as Germany, but will that be enough for him to really beat the best boxer in the world? Never say never, but this would be a giant upset for Yiildirim to even hang with Canelo most of the fight.
