How to watch Canelo Alvarez vs Avni Yildirim on UK TV

Canelo Alvarez steps back into the ring this weekend where he will face Turkish challenger Avni Yildirim.

With his WBA, WBC and The Ring super middleweight titles on the line, the fight will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Viewers here in the UK will be able to watch the fight this Saturday, February 27, on streaming service DAZN.

DAZN is available as an app - downloadable on mobile, tablet and most Smart TV's - and you can start your £1.99 subscription by visiting the DAZN website today.

Ranked as a 20/1 outsider, it is safe to say that a victory for Yildirim would come as a huge shock to the boxing world.

Canelo's bout with Floyd Mayweather at the MGM in 2013 remains his only defeat in his now 16 year professional career.

Since his draw, and subsequent rematch victory, over Gennady Golovkin, Alvarez has successfully retained his middleweight titles on four occasions.

In May 2019, his victory over the American Daniel Jacobs also saw win the IBF title - a belt he subsequently had stripped from him after failing to negotiate terms for a mandatory bout with Sergiy Derevyanchenko.
