Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez attempts to reclaim a portion of the world super middleweight title when he returns to action on Halloween to challenge Christian Mbilli for the WBC’s 168-pound belt.<\/p>\n

The fight is Canelo\u2019s (63-3-2) second in Saudi Arabia, part of a deal with Riyadh Season. He last fought a year ago, where he lost his undisputed 12-stone title to fellow modern great Terence Crawford.<\/p>\n

Despite the time off, Canelo didn\u2019t want to take an easy fight back. The multi-division champion aims to have gold around his waist again by beating the dangerous Mbilli. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t believe in shortcuts. That\u2019s why I go straight to the champion,” Canelo said via Boxing Scene<\/a>. “I already have that experience. I\u2019ve been a champion many years, and I hope to be a champion again. I want to face the best, and he\u2019s a champion, that\u2019s it.”<\/p>\n

Mbilli (29-0-1) has 23 knockout wins and took out Maciej Sulecki to become the interim champion. Promoted after Crawford relinquished the belt, his last fight was a draw. Mbilli is ready to prove he\u2019s worthy of being champion against Canelo.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m ready to shock the world,” said Mbilli. “I have a big respect for Canelo and all his career. I want to congratulate him for this, but Saturday will be a different story. I\u2019m coming for the win.”<\/p>\n
