Overview

  • Promoter and Canelo announced the fight will take place on October 31 at the Royal Lounge‑ANB Arena in Riyadh as part of Riyadh Season.
  • Christian Mbilli was elevated to WBC super‑middleweight champion after Terence Crawford vacated the belt, so the title will be at stake in the matchup.
  • The bout was rescheduled from September after Canelo said personal and family issues disrupted his training camp, making this his first fight since the September 13, 2025 loss to Crawford.
  • Tickets are on sale on the official site with prices listed in Saudi riyals (reported between 50 and 400 SAR) and DAZN holds Mexican broadcast rights for the event.
  • Comments from former trainer ‘Chepo’ Reynoso raised speculation that Canelo may be nearing the end of his 21‑year career but Canelo himself has not announced any retirement plans.
