Canelo Alvarez is finally stepping back into the ring for the first time in over a year, and it’s happening on Halloween! He is set to take on Christian Mbili for the WBC super middleweight title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and honestly, the boxing world needed this return.
The Heavyweight Clash We’ve All Been Waiting For Is Real, Baby!
Speaking of huge fights, get ready for December, because the long-awaited showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is officially on the books! These two heavyweights are finally going to throw down in Cardiff, Wales, on December 11. You know that one’s gonna be pure fire, something every boxing fan has been dying to see go down. This isn’t just another fight, this is a moment.
And hey, it’s not like October has been slow, either. WBO heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois just absolutely annihilated Fabio Wardley in their rematch, retaining his title in less than two rounds. Wardley’s corner had to throw in the towel, man, that’s how decisive it was. That same day, WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora won an ugly one against Ermal Hadribeaj, who got points deducted over and over for holding. Not pretty, but a win’s a win, right?
