Canelo Alvarez Eyes Final Fight At Estadio Azteca Ahead Of Mbilli Clash

Canelo Alvarez says he wants his final professional fight to take place at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, a vision shaped by watching Mexico's national soccer team play there.

"I want my last fight to be in Mexico. I visualized myself fighting there," Canelo

Canelo has reportedly held discussions with Emilio Azcárraga about staging the fight in Mexico City, though his current Riyadh Season deal complicates those plans — his October 31 fight with Christian Mbilli marks the third bout of a four-fight agreement, meaning one obligation would remain before any Azteca farewell could happen.

Mbilli's pressure-heavy style presents a stylistic challenge that could accelerate those plans, as Canelo typically prefers to walk opponents down and pick his shots rather than absorb sustained combination work along the ropes.
