Canelo Set For September Return- Mbilli Likely Foe In Saudi Arabia

By Hesiquio Balderas

Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez is expected to return to the ring on September 12, with Saudi Arabia identified as the likely host for the bout, according to information reported by Box Azteca.

Sources indicate that Christian Mbilli has emerged as the frontrunner to face Álvarez, in a potential clash for the Mbilli’s WBC super middleweight title.

While details remain subject to final confirmation, the event reflects the continued shift of major boxing cards toward Saudi Arabia, where significant investment has redefined the sport’s global staging.

For Álvarez, the fight would mark a high-stakes return against one of the division’s most active and pressing contenders, in a setting far removed from the traditional September venues tied to his career.
