By knockout, the well-known Mexican boxer, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez, defeated Turkish Avni Yildirim in three rounds and retained his middleweight titles from the World Boxing Council and the World Boxing Association.

With this result, the Mexican adds his 55th victory, while the Turk suffered his third defeat with 21 wins and 12 by knockout. From the beginning of the fight, Canelo had his opponent dominated, who barely landed a punch and was more focused on defending himself.

The Mexican already has his next fight scheduled, as he will challenge the Englishman Billy Joel Saunders in May, the World Organization champion, and in September he will face the American Caleb Plant, the International Federation champion.
