Winning a comfortable stoppage inside the distance against his mandatory challenger.

He next takes on Billy Joe Saunders of the UK on May 8th as things stand.

Respected trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas, perhaps as expected, wasn’t impressed:

That wasn’t even a sparring session. Truth be spoken you would send him home in camp because you’d get nothing out of it. #CaneloYildirim #Canelo

The commentators r speculating what it will take to beat Canelo, I have an idea; start with better opposition. #CaneloYildirim #Canelo #dazn

I love Canelo, but in these type fights he can just do whatever he wants, as if you were in gym hitting the bag. #CaneloYildirim #Canelo

Classic Atlas.

He makes some fair points overall.

For balance is should also be noted it was a mandatory in unpredictable times to get Canelo out boxing for now.

He takes on a legitimate threat at least next up.

Perhaps for the first time since 2019 when he fought Danny Jacobs.

Canelo is scheduled to take on Billy Joe Saunders on May 8th live on DAZN.
