Yildirim is aware of the importance this match has, as the prestigious Silver International title is an important step towards a fight against the world Champion Canadian Adonis Stevenson.
He’s fresh from defeating former world Champion Glen Johnson, in August for the title – which was vacant. He said: “I am sure that with a great effort I can become world champion.
“I have to keep working in the gym because there is always something new to learn. I am happy to be fighting for the WBC International Silver championship. It’s an extra motivation for victory.”
