Canelo Alvarez vs Anvi Yilidrim Headed to FOX?

[ReggieKray]

It will be good for boxing for the sport's biggest star to fight on free TV.

If it's not a high profile fight then I think it's good.

Tyson fresh out of prison was probably the most popular athlete in the world. His 2nd fight lost prison against Mathis was on fox with terry Norris on the undercard.

Lol at DAZN if they can't even get the Yildirim fight

I think ultimately they will.

So Yilidrim, BJS and then Plant to end the year?

Question is, does PBC go with Plant vs Benavidez first if Canelo goes the DAZN route?

Would make the Canelo vs Plant or Benavidez winner that much bigger.

Saunders should fight Andrade in the meantime. Make it a mini-tournament of sorts at 168, that way the unification at the end of the year is even more meaningful.

Not happening. If Canelo goes the FOX route, better chance you see GGG vs BJS. Andrade is going to be the odd man out.

But I see Canelo signing the two fight DAZN deal. Then GGG is rumored to fight Munguia next. Where does that leave Andrade? Liam Williams mandatory? Sure, but then what? He's unlikely to fight Jacobs who may or may not return to DAZN, he's not getting GGG nor BJS and obviously he won't get Canelo. I don't see a good path for him in 2021 unfortunately.

If Canelo leaves to fight on FOX then BJS-Andrade should happen.

Saunders seems willing:

Saunders: I'm Supremely Confident of Knocking Andrade Out Cold!

I don't care what Saunders says, he would take the GGG fight over Andrade in a heartbeat. A bigger money fight and a fight he would feel more confident in winning.

I need to see it to believe it first with Andrade. Doesn't look promising.

Before Canelo even starts trying to decide - someone needs to reach out to Plant to make sure he is OK with the short 5 month advanced notice.

GGG is fighting Munguia next.

Both BJS and Andrade are without a quality dance partner. Why not face each other instead of just wasting time with subpar opponents?

As the 160 lb WBO champ Andrade can get an automatic shot at Saunder's 168 lb WBO title if he moves up.

[MPDKSAB]

Idk how dudes think they're supposed to fund the type of money Canelo is accustomed to making on free TV.

I wanna see how he moves once Andrade gets that 168 WBO belt.

The Munguia fight if Canelo fights BJS in May. Who is to say they don't make BJS vs GGG in May if Canelo goes to FOX for his next two fights?

Hearn went on a rant saying Andrade vs GGG should be next and the next day we hear GGG vs Munguia could happen next and discussions have started. Doesn't he have GGG under his banner? Something isn't adding up here.

But if Canelo signs with DAZN, then Andrade is certainly the odd man out for the time being. Unfortunate really.
