February is poised to be a big month for DAZN subscribers, with no less than SIX big cards of live boxing action that concludes with the latest outing for pound-for-pound megastar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Alvarez returns two months after beating Callum Smith in December for the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring belts, and his quest for undisputed glory at 168lb in 2021 begins with a mandatory defense against Avni Yildirim on Saturday, Feb. 27 from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Meanwhile, Matchroom Boxing was unable to promote live-action in January, with the British Boxing Board of Control temporarily suspending all events for the month due to the coronavirus pandemic prompting a second serious lockdown in the UK.
But they are back starting on Feb. 13 with Josh Warrington facing off with Mauricio Lara, and one week later the postponed January bout between David Avanesyan and Josh Kelly for the former’s European welterweight strap will finally happen.
Another postponed contest pits New Zealand stars Joseph Parker and Junior Fa against one another in Auckland, with the winner likely to move into the conversation of world heavyweight championship opportunities once Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury stage their huge unification clash later in the year.
Everything you need to know about the who, the where, and then when can be found below.
- Julio Cesar Martinez will defend his WBC World Flyweight title against McWilliams Arroyo as the chief support to Canelo Alvarez’s defense of his WBC, WBA Super, and Ring Magazine World Super-Middleweight titles on Saturday, February 27 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, live worldwide on DAZN (except Mexico).
- Martinez (17-1 13 KOs) puts his title on the line for the third time since landing the belt in December 2019 in a thrilling stoppage win over Cristofer Rosales, outpointing Jay Harris in Dallas in February and blasting away Moises Calleros in two rounds in Mexico City in October.
The all-action Mexican is raring to finally face his mandatory challenger Arroyo after having to pull out of a proposed clash with the Puerto Rican through illness in August.
It is a huge night for the all-action champion, who turns 26 on Wednesday, as he finally gets to fight as the chief support to his stablemate Alvarez, whom he also shares as a trainer and manager in Eddy Reynoso after illness ruled him out of fighting on his card in December in San Antonio.
