Canelo Alvarez returns to the ring on Saturday, October 31st, 2026, when he challenges Christian Mbilli for the WBC super middleweight title at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, streaming live on DAZN PPV. Canadian boxing fans have a real rooting interest in this one: Mbilli is based in Montreal and promoted by Eye of the Tiger, and he enters the biggest fight of his career as the undefeated WBC champion against one of the most decorated fighters of his generation.
Alvarez is 36 years old and enters the fight at 63-3-2 with 39 knockouts. This is his first fight in 13 months, since losing a unanimous decision to Terence Crawford in Las Vegas in September 2025, a defeat that cost him his super middleweight world titles. Mbilli, 31, is 29-0-1 with 24 knockouts. He fought Lester Martinez to a split draw on the Alvarez vs Crawford undercard to keep his interim WBC belt, and was elevated to full WBC champion after Crawford retired. Alvarez is the favourite, with oddsmakers leaning on his experience at the elite level, while Mbilli is the underdog despite holding the belt and the unbeaten record.
Alvarez’s backers will point to more than two decades of experience against the best fighters of his era and a ring IQ that few opponents have been able to solve. Mbilli’s supporters know that his relentless pressure and punching power, with stoppages in 24 of his 29 wins, make him a dangerous matchup for a 36-year-old coming off a long layoff. Whether you’re siding with Alvarez to reclaim a world title or backing the Montreal-based champion to defend his belt, check below for how Canadian bettors can get in on the action.
