Christian Mbilli will have to wait for his first chance to defend the WBC world super-middleweight title after his fight with Canelo Alvarez was rescheduled.

The pair were originally due to clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday 12 September, but Canelo was forced to delay the bout due to family reasons.

When it arrives, it will be a huge night for the Mexican, who will have a point to prove as he fights for the first time since his defeat to Terence Crawford last year.

There have been a few early punches thrown in the press, with Canelo questioning Mbilli's technique, which will only raise anticipation for their meeting.

The good news for boxing fans is that they won't have to wait too long to see the pair touch gloves and contest the belt.
