Boxing\u2019s top star, Canelo Alvarez,<\/a> will undergo surgery on his elbow Oct. 23 in Orange, California, The Ring <\/a>has learned.
The Ring broke the news of Alvarez\u2019s pending procedure Monday<\/a> on \u201cInside the Ring.\u201d The injury will postpone his planned February return in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the third of his four-fight deal with Riyadh Season.
Alvarez (62-3-2, 39 KOs) dropped his Ring Magazine super middleweight championship earlier this month via unanimous decision to Terence Crawford<\/a> in a Las Vegas superfight. The 35-year-old is now expected to return in the second or third quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

“Canelo has been diagnosed with loose bodies in his left elbow,” read a statement from Alvarez’s team. “After a thorough evaluation and medical consultation with his orthopedic surgeon, he is scheduled to undergo a left elbow arthroscopic procedure to remove the loose bodies.<\/p>\n

“Following the procedure, his orthopedic surgeon is recommending the use of a sling for a short period of time. His rehabilitation program is expected to allow a return to light training within 4 to 6 weeks. The prognosis is excellent, and Sa\u00fal is anticipated to make a full recovery and return to championship-level boxing.<\/p>\n

“We appreciate the continued support from fans and the boxing community during his recovery process.”<\/p>\n

Alvarez previously underwent surgery twice during his career. In 2018 he had surgery on his right knee. And in 2022 a procedure was performed on his left wrist. <\/p>\n

The elbow surgery will be performed by Dr. Steve Mora.<\/p>\n

Alvarez is The Ring\u2019s No. 1 super middleweight<\/a>. The loss to Crawford was his first at 168 pounds and first since he was defeated by Dmitry Bivol in a 175-pound title fight in May 2022.
