According to a story on boxing news site BoxingScene, the popular sports streaming network DAZN would not approve of a possible fight between Mexican superstar Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and unknown Turkish boxer Avni Yildirim, as ordered last Tuesday by WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán. 😬😬
It’s so clear that DAZN — who pays millions of dollars for Canelo’s fights — wants a tougher, more thrilling and more challenging opponent for El Canelo. 🥊⭐️✅
Boxing fans have been craving for Canelo to battle one more time his tough nemesis Triple G Gennady Golovkin, or unbeaten trash-talking Briton Billy Joe Sanders or some other fighter with much more name and appeal. ✋
It remains to be known what the WBC will reply. 🧐🧐
