Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will be back in action come February 27th to defend his WBC and WBA world titles against Avni Yildirim from Turkey. 

Canelo has won world titles in four different weight divisions.

Canelo is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world and some fans consider him the 'best'.  He has lost only one fight in 57 bouts. 

"Avni Yildirim is a good boxer and we will put and exciting fight," said the world champ. 

"I'm very glad we are able to bring this event to Miami, a short distance from where my hero, Muhammad Ali, trained. "

Yildirim has a record of 21 wins in 23 bouts. He lost to American Anthony Dirrell and British star Chris Eubank Jr.
