The Mexican fighter will defend his super middleweight championship against Turkey’s Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium. “It is an honour for me fighting in such an important stadium,” Alvarez said in Spanish while visiting the venue on Monday. “I’m truly very fortunate of being again here and opening a new boxing venue,” Alvarez said. His bout with Smith ended a 13-month absence and earned him the World Boxing Association super middleweight belt. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
