Canelo Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim: What are the betting odds?
The oddsmakers don’t give Avni Yildirim much of a shot against Canelo Alvarez.
The Mexican star, No. 2 on Boxing Junkie’s pound-for-pound list, is about a 20-1 favorite to successfully defend his super middleweight titles against his mandatory challenger on Feb. 27 in Miami, according to BetMGM.
Alvarez is listed at -3000, meaning you’d have to bet $3,000 to make $100. Yildirim is +1200. You’d make $1,200 by wagering $100.
BetMGM lists a draw at +2500.
Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) won two titles by easily outpointing Callum Smith on Dec. 19 in San Antonio. He’ll be making the first defense of his belts.
Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs) is coming off a technical-decision loss to Anthony Dirrell in February 2019. He will have been out of the ring for more than two years when he fights Alvarez.
The fight will be streamed on DAZN and available on pay-per-view.
