Mexican boxing star Canelo Alvarez's next opponent could already be determined following his WBC super middleweight world championship bout against France's Christian Mbilli in Riyadh on November 1, 2026. The fight, captured by AFP photographers, marks Alvarez's latest defense in the 168-pound division.
Alvarez, widely regarded as one of the sport's premier pound-for-pound fighters, faced Mbilli in Saudi Arabia's capital as part of the kingdom's growing involvement in major boxing events. The outcome of this contest may clarify the trajectory for the unified champion's next assignment.
