Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez did exactly as expected, as he easily defended his WBC, WBA ‘Super’ and Ring Magazine Super Middleweight titles at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, forcing mandatory challenger, Avni Yildirim, to retire from battle after three one-sided rounds.
Canelo (55-1-2, 37 KOs) was last seen as recently as December 2020, dominating Callum Smith to reign supreme at the weight, while Yildirim (21-3, 12 KOs) was fortuitous to be in his lofty position having not fought in over two years, since defeat to Anthony Dirrell in a challenge for the WBC belt. A mismatch was expected, and that’s exactly what happened.
Chinese Heavyweight Zhilei Zhang says he is targeting a future showdown with Anthony Joshua in China.
‘Big Bang’, who is ranked at #8 by the WBO is keen to face renew his rivalry with unified WBA ‘Super’, IBF, WBO and IBO Heavyweight world champion, Joshua, who beat him in the 2012 Olympics and stands on the cusp of an undisputed title fight with WBC titlist, Tyson Fury later this year, with talks continuing between both teams.
“I would love to fight AJ in China because of our amateur backgrounds,” Zhang told Matchroom Boxing.
“The venue is there, the Bird’s Nest holds 100,000, so we have it all. Beijing and Shanghai are the biggest cities, very economically developed and boxing in China is growing.

There’s an eerie calmness to a fighter just before they head into battle, providing the kind of glance you would see only on death row, to their opponent. Dmitry Bivol is one of those who retains his poker face right up until it is time to go to war.
11 of his 17 opponents have failed to hear the final bell sound, as the Russian dispatches of his rivals for fun.
Due to his raw knockout power and an accomplished skillset, Bivol has found himself to be avoided and left as the forgotten man in the 175lbs division.

The Brit had a height and reach advantage heading into the bout, but on reflection âMundoâ says the four-weight world champion was able to nullify his strengths with his masterful defence and insists if he was given another opportunity he would look for an early stoppage.
