Canelo vs. Mbilli Is a Done Deal: A Redemption Quest With Real Stakes

Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli have officially agreed to fight in September in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the WBC super middleweight championship, according to The Ring's Mike Coppinger. The bout will mark Canelo's return to the ring following his stunning defeat to Terence Crawford, which raised serious questions about the former pound-for-pound king's standing in the sport. Mbilli holds the WBC title, meaning Canelo must defeat a legitimate champion to reclaim his status in the super middleweight division.
