★★★☆☆ ALVAREZ-SEALS
THIS Saturday (January 18), Eleider “Storm” Alvarez has his first fight since losing both his unbeaten record and WBO light-heavyweight crown to Sergey Kovalev in February last year. Alvarez was outboxed and unanimously outscored by Kovalev, despite having knocked the fearsome Russian out in seven rounds to win the title just six months previously. An injured left foot kept the Montrealbased Colombian out of action after his rematch loss, but he returns at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York this weekend.
