Boxing's biggest star steps into the ring for the first time in 2021 as Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez takes on Avni Yildirim with the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring super middleweight titles on the line.
Alvarez hopes to become the undisputed champion at 168 lbs, but his road to glory first must go through mandatory challenger Yildirim. The pair square off Saturday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and fans in the United States can catch all the action on pay-per-view as well as on DAZN.
Turkish fighter Yildirim has all of Canelo's attention, although the Mexican superstar claimed recently that he's 'superior to Yildirim” and expects to leave Miami with the belts. With Yildirim having twice challenged for a world title in recent years, Alvarez knows he'll be facing an experienced fighter with nothing to lose on Saturday.
Here's everything you need to know about the fight, plus information on how to watch on pay-per-view.

BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the Alvarez-Avni Yildirim show scheduled for February 27 in Miami will be offered for $49.99 through numerous cable and satellite companies in the United States. If viewers watch Alvarez-Yildirim on DAZN, it would be considerably cheaper than watching it on pay-per-view.
DAZN costs $19.99 for a one-month subscription, or $8.33 per month if consumers purchase a one-year subscription for $99.99. If a buyer opts to purchase just one month of DAZN to watch Alvarez-Yildirim, though, it’d also include access to DAZN through April without any additional cost.
Despite DAZN’s “death to pay-per-view” mantra in its infancy, offering Alvarez-Yildirim on pay-per-view will provide another revenue stream among boxing fans who wouldn’t watch Alvarez-Yildirim on DAZN for various reasons.
The 30-year-old Alvarez’s last fight, a win over Callum Smith on December 19, also was offered on pay-per-view and DAZN in the U.S. The pay-per-view price for that bout was $69.99, however, because England’s Smith was an undefeated super middleweight champion at that time who was considered arguably the best fighter in the 168-pound division other than Alvarez.
Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) dominated Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) in their 12-round title fight at Alamodome in San Antonio. The Mexican icon won by huge margins on all three scorecards – 119-109, 119-109 and 117-111 – and left the ring with the previously vacant WBC crown and Smith’s WBA “super” 168-pound championship.
Turkey’s Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs) is the mandatory challenger for Alvarez’s WBC belt. Alvarez committed to fighting Yildirim next, if the four-division champion beat Smith, as part of their agreement with the WBC to sanction their title fight.
Alvarez is listed as an overwhelming favorite versus Yildirim – 50-1, according to most Internet sports books. That is among the reasons the pay-per-view price is lower for this event.
The Alvarez-Yildirim fight will headline a show that’ll be held outdoors at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.
The co-feature February 27 is a 12-round, 112-pound title bout between Mexico’s Julio Cesar Martinez (17-1, 13 KOs), the WBC flyweight champ, and Puerto Rico’s McWilliams Arroyo (20-4, 15 KOs).
