Canelo Alvarez will return to the ring on Oct. 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the boxing superstar announced on Wednesday.
Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) will challenge super middleweight champion Christin Mbilli, in his first appearance since he suffered a decision loss to Terence Crawford in September 2025. The 36-year-old was originally scheduled to face Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs) on Sept. 12, but that date was delayed indefinitely in June.
"I'm always very disciplined with my training and I wasn't ready to be in the training camp," Alvarez told Uncrowned. "So, that's why I postponed the fight because I need to attend family first. All good now, I'm ready to train and we are going to be [fighting] on Oct. 31."
