Canelo Alvarez is scheduled to fight WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli for Mbilli’s title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The bout is set for October 30-31, 2026, and will be broadcast on DAZN PPV and Ultimate at 9:15 am ET.

Both Alvarez and Mbilli are fighting for the first time since September of last year on the Canelo vs Terence Crawford show.

Canelo Alvarez lost a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford in their previous main event. Alvarez has not stopped an opponent in almost five years, since his late 2021 fight against Caleb Plant.

Mbilli has not lost a fight but has been rocked in more than one bout due to his aggressive style. Mbilli fought Lester Martinez in a split draw, with Scott having it even and Wil having Mbilli winning narrowly.

On the undercard, Jaime Munguia is scheduled to take on Nikita Zon. Rafael Espinoza is scheduled to defend his WBO featherweight belt against Ricardo Blandon on the same card.

Also on the undercard, Lindolfo Delgado is scheduled to fight Arthur Biyarslanov for a vacant IBF belt at super lightweight.
