I sure this deal includes BJS in May as well

Coppinger saying this one will be in Florida that is interesting

Sources tell @TheAthletic Canelo Alvarez has agreed to a deal with Matchroom Boxing for a Feb. 27 super middleweight title defense vs. Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The event will be streamed globally on DAZN (except in Mexico)

Canelo keeping his options open.

Yawn fight. Saul should and needs to get yildrim out of there in no less than 3-4 rounds. I get it cause its a mando but hoping he fights better opp after.

Well its a terrible fight

But Canelo has been on a decent run so can't complain that much

I just won't be watching it, maybe on YouTube or something later on

Did you miss the part about "mandatory?" Or maybe the part about his next two being discussed are two CHAMPIONS Plant and BJS?

I'm guessing these aren't good enough for YOU as well?

[BigZ44]

Interesting that it ended up in Miami. Glad Canelo is getting this out of the way in a hurry so Cinco De Mayo is open for Saunders or Plant

[MPDKSAB]

One fight deal? There's still minimal hope.

Its a mando fight. Not much he can do here. He can either drop a belt & have some mfers say he's ducking Yildirim or he can fight this guy to keep his belt & have mfers saying he's cherry picking. Its a lose lose situation BUT its not fooking Canelo's fault. Its the power structure of boxing thats fooking r3tarded thats the problem here & in lotsa situations.
