Canelo Alvarez has a chance to reclaim the WBC super-middleweight championship this Saturday, but he must first overcome current title-holder Christian Mbilli.
The Mexican star previously captured the belt after defeating Callum Smith in 2020.
He later lost it to American champion Terence Crawford in a high-profile winner-takes-all, undisputed bout last September.
Exactly a year later, Alvarez is set to fight for the division's top spot on a packed card in Saudi Arabia.
His opponent, the unbeaten French contender Mbilli, inherited Crawford's title after Crawford's unexpected retirement on December 17, 2025.
