Avni Yildirim fight card takes place on Saturday, Feb. 27 and kicks off at 8 p.m. Yildirim figures to be a massive underdog, though he’s already a financial winner by virtue of landing a fight against boxing’s biggest draw. Reynoso made headlines of his own barely two weeks after Alvarez-Plant, making the bold request for Alvarez-who has fought just once above the super middleweight limit-to next challenge the winner of the January 29 clash between WBC cruiserweight champ Ilunga ‘Junior’ Makabu and Thabiso Mchunu. The Canelo camp were hoping that Mchunu would step aside, and Eddy Reynoso has noted there are “other options” for May 7 if the Makabu fight is a no-go. Worldwide fans are waiting for this vast boxing match between Canelo Alvarez vs. In 2007, Canelo Alvarez and Karen Beltran gave birth to a baby girl. He will enjoy a massive size advantage over Alvarez in the fight, which can turn the tides in any direction. Now, he will look to add Bivol’s WBA belt to his title collection. Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) had the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and The Ring belts, so he just needed the IBF title that remained stubbornly wrapped around the waist of unbeaten Caleb "Chicken Wing" Plant (21-0, 12 KOs).
Benavidez (25-0, 22 KOs) recently lost out on a chance to fight Canelo Alvarez in the fall, and Plant (21-1, 12 KOs) is coming off an 11th-round knockout loss to Alvarez last November. Don King, the 90-year-old promoter long since faded from being any sort of real power in the boxing world, sent out a press release announcing he will stage the Makabu-Mchunu rematch in Warren, Ohio, and said that Canelo would be in attendance. Hopefully, Spence and Crawford will finally share the ring late in the year, before this matchup actually loses its luster. Brook took a knee against Errol Spence and refused to get back up. Current reports have Canelo ready to take on Anvi Yildirim in February, after which Canelo plans to get back to his regularly scheduled program of fighting on Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day weekend. Everything appeared to be going smoothly between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant. Speaking on rival Gennadiy Golovkin, Canelo makes it clear that if Golovkin wants a chance to fight him again he’s going to have to move up to meet him at 168lbs where Canelo’s feeling very strong and sturdy.
“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I did my job already by beating him twice and right now, I want to stay at 168, and if (GGG) wants to move up, we’ll see what happens, if that’s what the fans really want,” he said. I’m just saying when that fight does get made, and it’s not near as hard as everyone think it’s gonna be, don’t be surprised is all I’m saying. It’s an injury that rarely goes away for fighters and in a sport where punches to the face headline the job description, it’s a risk that some fighters might not be prepared to take once suffering it for the first time. Recovery should be the instant priority for Saunders and if he makes the decision to resume his career at the highest level then it’s one he should approach with caution. It seems that Caleb is living a happy and cheerful life from the income that she gained from his successful career.
She spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Fury survived two knockdowns to score three of his own, the last leaving Wilder down and out to defend his lineal and WBC heavyweight championship in an epic clash that served as BoxingScene.com’s 2021 Fight of the Year. Each of the three would represent progress of a sort for the former WBC champion at 168lbs, who maintains an unbeaten record despite losing his belts twice in his career. Any combination among those three options would leave Alvarez as a strong contender for his third Fighter of the Year award in four years. A raucous 12-month run that saw him pick up four massive wins already has him as the consensus pick for Fighter of the Year once again. Boxing continues to roll on in 2021. After a rough 2020 that saw many stars either not compete or compete just once, the new year has seen a handful of fighters already seen ring time with big success. Canelo Alvarez, the world's top-ranked pound-for-pound boxer according to ESPN and The Ring magazine, will look to become undisputed super middleweight champion when he fights IBF champion Caleb Plant on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nev.
