How to watch Alvarez vs. Yildirim super middleweight title fight on February 27th

Two of the super middleweight titles will be on the line Saturday, February 27 when champion Canelo Alvarez faces off against challenger Avni Yildirim. The fight will air on DAZN and be available via PPV on various cable outlets.

Alvarez enters the fight with a 54-1-2 record and is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Callum Smith this past December. Alvarez moved into the super middleweight division for the fight and took Smith’s WBA title, the vacant WBC title, and also The Ring Magazine title in the win. He is ranked first in most pound-for-pound rankings.

Yildirim enters the fight with a 21-2 record and has not fought since February 2019. In that fight, he faced Anthony Dirrell for the vacant WBC super middleweight title and lost a technical decision. The WBC inexplicably named Yildirim the mandatory challenger. Alvarez wants to unify the division and so he is taking this fight to avoid losing the belt.
