Canelo Alvarez-Avni Yildirim live results and analysis

WBC and WBA super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez defends his belts against mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim in the main event of Saturday's DAZN card at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (DAZN, 7 p.m. ET).

Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) unified those titles by defeating Callum Smith by unanimous decision in December. That was Alvarez's first fight since becoming a free agent, following his fallout with long-time promoter Golden Boy.

Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs) is coming off a debatable technical decision loss to Anthony Dirrell in February 2020.

Dirrell suffered a cut over his left eye due to an unintentional clash of heads, and the fight was stopped and sent to the scorecards.
