Canelo Alvarez reclaimed the WBC super‑middleweight championship with a unanimous decision over Christian Mbilli in Riyadh, returning one year after his loss to Terence Crawford. The Mexican superstar dominated from the sixth round, using a right uppercut to set up a hard right cross and later a right hook while working from the centre of the ring. Despite Mbilli’s early pressure and a point deduction for a back‑head hit in the eighth, Canelo secured the win 115-112, 116-111 and 117-110.
He celebrated his 68th professional bout victory, calling it “unbelievable” after 21 years and 16 years since his first title. Elsewhere, Jaime Munguia defended his WBA belt against Nikita Zon, Rafael Espinoza kept the WBO featherweight title, and updates on Usyk, Clarke and Billam‑Smith were highlighted.
