Mexican boxing icon Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez reclaimed the WBC super middleweight world championship with a unanimous decision victory over Christian Mbilli in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The commanding 12-round triumph marked a resilient return for Alvarez, who had not fought in 13 months due to elbow surgery and a previous loss to Terence Crawford. Alvarez controlled the match, landing 132 power punches to Mbilli's 99, and was awarded scores of 117-110, 116-111, and 115-112. This victory reestablishes Alvarez as a world champion and sets up potential future clashes with Hamzah Sheeraz, Dmitry Bivol, or David Benavidez. The undercard saw Jaime Munguia and Rafael Espinoza successfully defend their world titles, with Team World edging Team Mexico 5-4 overall.
