Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim: Tale of the tape for super middleweight clash

The 30-year-old four-division champion can already lay claim to being the best pound-for-pound fighter still boxing competitively but after Yildirim he is expected to fight Billy Joe Saunders for another unification fight.

Yildirim has twice challenged for a world title, the IBO super-middleweight title in 2017 and the WBC super middleweight title in 2019, and is now getting another crack at the latter along with the WBA belt.
