Canelo–Mbilli Undercard Set With Three World Title Fights and DAZN Pay‑Per‑View
Unresolved WBA sanctioning plus outstanding anti‑doping plus safety questions leave key title recognition and event integrity in doubt.
Overview
- The full undercard for Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli was announced Thursday, Oct. 8, and will stream on DAZN’s Ultimate tier and on pay‑per‑view with ten bouts scheduled.
- Three world title fights are listed on the card: Jaime Munguía vs. Nikita Zon for the WBA super middleweight title, Rafael Espinoza vs. Lorenzo Parra for the WBO featherweight title, and Lindolfo Delgado vs. Arthur Biyarslanov for the vacant IBF super lightweight title.
- Munguía’s Oct. 31 defense of the WBA belt is scheduled but its official sanctioning is unclear because the WBA previously ordered Munguía to face mandatory challenger Bektemir Melikuziev.
- The undercard also features WBO top contender David Picasso vs. Carl Jammes Martin and rising names such as Reito Tsutsumi vs. Raymundo Rojas Garcia, plus four other preliminary fights.
- Earlier reporting highlighted that VADA anti‑doping involvement and travel and safety arrangements had not been confirmed, and those outstanding issues remain relevant to whether the event will meet standard testing and regulatory expectations.
