Canelo Alvarez wants farewell fight at Mexico's Estadio Azteca

usatoday.com —

Canelo Alvarez has revealed he wants his final fight to take place at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca, a venue he described as having an incredible vibe after attending a World Cup match there in June. Alvarez, who debuted professionally in Mexico in 2005 and has fought there 34 times, has discussed the idea with Televisa chairman Emilio Azcárraga. His most recent home bout was a 2023 win over John Ryder in Guadalajara. Before any farewell, Alvarez faces Christian Mbilli for the WBC super middleweight title on Oct. 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This fight follows his recent unanimous-decision loss to Terence Crawford, which ended his undisputed championship reign.
