Canelo vs Mbilli Postponed to Late October in Riyadh

The WBC super middleweight title fight between champion Christian Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs) and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) has been postponed from September 12 to late October, with the bout still set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The change was confirmed by Mbilli's promoter Eye of the Tiger Management on Monday, with the fight repositioned to align with the seventh edition of Riyadh Season opening in October. The vacated September 12 date is now expected to host a WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn in Las Vegas.
