Canelo reveals where he wants his retirement fight, and it's not Estadio Azteca

World champion boxer Canelo Álvarez has hinted at his preferred venue for a potential retirement bout, explicitly ruling out Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. The five-division titlist, who is set to face Christian Mbilli on October 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has also addressed lingering concerns about the fight’s location after a security alert prompted speculation of a move to Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, the undercard for the Mbilli bout has been finalized, featuring three world title defenses, including WBA super middleweight champion Jaime Munguía’s clash against Nikita Zon. Separately, heavyweight Filip Hrgović has expressed his desire to host his mandatory IBF title defense against Frank Sánchez in his native Croatia, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming championship landscape.
