Canelo Álvarez announces comeback fight against Christian Mbili in October

Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez will return to the boxing ring in October to face Christian Mbili in Riyadh. This marks Álvarez's first fight since losing to Terence Crawford last year and also follows a year away from competition due to elbow surgery. The 36-year-old reflected on lessons learned from his previous loss, emphasizing a continued passion for the sport despite nearing the end of his career. Álvarez has already achieved significant success, including titles in four weight divisions, and is motivated by record-setting goals and possible future rematches, with Crawford, should the opportunity arise.
