Canelo vs. Christian M'billi: How to watch 'Mexico vs. the World'

Saul Canelo Alvarez is preparing for a return to the boxing ring, where he will face undefeated champion Christian Mbilli in a highly anticipated event called "Mexico vs. The World." This bout will be Alvarez's first appearance since his loss to Terence Crawford back in September 2025, where he lost by unanimous decision. Before that, Alvarez suffered another defeat in 2022 against Dmitri Bivol, which also cost him a shot at the WBA light heavyweight title.

Mbilli, with a record of 29-0-1 and 24 knockouts, won the WBC interim super middleweight title in June 2025 by defeating Maciej Sulecki. He successfully defended his title three months later by outpointing Lester Martinez in a split decision. In January 2026, Mbilli was promoted to the full WBC champion following Crawford's title stripping, and he now faces his biggest challenge yet against Alvarez.

This main event will take place on Halloween in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. To watch the event, Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli will be available on DAZN pay-per-view on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. The main event ringwalks are expected to occur at around 4:30 p.m. ET.
