Eddy Reynoso: Christian Mbilli is the likely opponent for Canelo Álvarez in September

The boxing world is buzzing with anticipation for Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez's next fight, scheduled for September. While Álvarez is still in rehabilitation following elbow surgery, his trainer, Eddy Reynoso, has provided insights into the potential matchups.

Reynoso, speaking at a recent training session for boxer Jaime Munguía, confirmed that a possible opponent for Álvarez has emerged. He mentioned that Christian Mbilli is the leading candidate, noting that "it's what's shaping up, we'll see if things happen, we'll be ready." Álvarez has reportedly begun training and is physically well, despite the recent surgery.

Mbilli currently holds the WBC super middleweight title, making him a strong contender. The World Boxing Council (WBC) has reportedly given its approval for Mbilli to defend his title in September, aligning perfectly with Álvarez's planned return. This potential bout promises to be a significant event in the boxing calendar, pitting two formidable fighters against each other.
