Canelo Alvarez has reclaimed the WBC super-middleweight title with a unanimous win over Christian Mbilli in Riyadh. The result marks his return to the top after a year out, with judges scoring 115-112, 116-111, 117-110. Mbilli suffers his first defeat in 31 fights.
The Saudi capital Riyadh is hosting a WBC super‑middleweight title bout on October 31 between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Christian Mbilli. Officials say the event will proceed despite recent strikes on King Khalid International Airport and ongoing security concerns linked to Yemen’s Houthis. Alvarez has not fought since September 2025.
