Canelo Alvarez is staying busy with his second fight in just over two months Saturday night.Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) is in a quick turnaround for this fight, last fighting — and defeating — Callum Smith in a super middleweight clash this past December. The win bout was Canelo’s first in over a year, following his 12-round unanimous decision win over Sergey Kovalev in November 2019.

While the future in Canelo fights isn’t immediately apparent, Alvarez’s sights are set on Turkish fighter Avni Yildirim in Miami, Fla. this weekend. Yildirim has just two losses in his boxing career, but hasn’t fought since a technical decision loss to Anthony Dirrell in February 2019.
