OPINION: A Win Over Canelo Alvarez Will Drastically Affect Avni Yildirim’s Career

‘Mr. Robot’ Avni Yildirim is on the brink of stepping up for the biggest fight of his boxing career against Canelo Alvarez on February 27 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. Both teams have already touched the United States and are ready to put on a show. However, Yildirim would remain an underdog before the mighty Canelo Alvarez.

While most fans picture Alvarez to emerge victoriously, Yildirim can shatter their plans in fashion. And if it happens, the ongoing structure of the super middleweight division will see some prominent changes. Avni Yildirim would suddenly be the face of the sport and it will also bring a lot more in his platter.

It’s not every day that you get to beat Canelo Alvarez, and win against him will definitely help boost standings. So, here’s what Avni Yildirim can expect if he gets his hand over the Mexican giant.
