Canelo Alvarez: Mexican superstar set to return with fight against Christian Mbilli for WBC super-middleweight championship

Canelo Alvarez is set to return to boxing in autumn 2025 with a fight against WBC super-middleweight champion Christian Mbilli, according to Top Rank president Todd duBoef. The bout's location remains unconfirmed. Canelo is looking to bounce back after losing his undisputed super-middleweight title to Terence Crawford last September, while the undefeated Mbilli was elevated to WBC champion following Crawford's retirement from the division.
