Canelo vs Mbilli Undercard Announced Amid Safety Concerns
Now that the full card lineup is complete, will the card still take place in Riyadh on Oct. 31?
The General Entertainment Authority has announced the undercard lineup for the October 31 Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli boxing card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This decision comes amid increasing safety concerns due to Houthi rebel drone strikes in the region, including strikes on Riyadh's airport. Several North American governments, such as Canada, Mexico, and the United States, have issued travel advisories warning citizens to avoid non-essential travel to the area due to escalating conflict.
The undercard fights feature world champions Jaime Munguia, Rafael Espinoza, and David Picasso, as well as several other notable fighters. Despite the safety concerns, the card is scheduled to proceed with live broadcasts on DAZN Boxing.
