01 / THE ANNOUNCED LINE-UP

Alvarez vs Mbilli undercard: full fight list

The WBC's full-card announcement lists the following nine supporting bouts for Mexico vs. The World. Full fighter names and title descriptions below also draw on The Ring's undercard announcement.

This is the announced undercard, checked on 26 October 2026. The rows follow the WBC listing for reference; they are not a confirmed first-to-last running order. Supporting bouts, opponents and championship arrangements can change.

The main event is Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli for Mbilli's WBC super-middleweight championship. It is listed separately from these nine undercard bouts. For the headline contest, see our main fight guide.

Scheduled rounds are not assigned here where they were not established from the cited announcements. Check the final bout sheet before using a rounds-based market.

26 October update: Ricardo Blandon replaces Lorenzo Parra against Rafael Espinoza, according to the organiser’s 25 October report. The earlier WBC and Ring announcements listed Parra.

02 / THE LEADING SUPPORTING BOUTS

Title fights announced beneath the main event

Jaime Munguia vs Nikita Zon

The organiser bills Munguia vs Zon as a WBA super-middleweight title defence. That puts another 168 lb contest on the advertised programme alongside the headline WBC championship fight. However, the title description needs a qualification.

In a separate WBA Championship Committee order, the WBA directs Munguia to negotiate a mandatory defence against Bektemir Melikuziev. The announced Zon match-up and the sanctioning body's mandatory order should not be treated as interchangeable confirmations. This guide records the organiser's advertised bout while flagging that its championship status needs checking.

Rafael Espinoza vs Ricardo Blandon

Espinoza vs Ricardo Blandon is announced for the WBO featherweight championship. It brings the 126 lb division onto the supporting card. This is a separate title contest from the super-middleweight main event, so use the fighter names when checking a broadcaster's listing or a betting market.

The organiser's announcement identifies the pairing and championship. An individual ring-walk time and final position on the broadcast were not established for this update.

Lindolfo Delgado vs Arthur Biyarslanov

Delgado and Biyarslanov are announced to contest the vacant IBF junior-welterweight title. Junior welterweight is also called super lightweight; the division limit is 140 lb. Those two labels can refer to the same division in different event listings.

The vacant-title billing distinguishes this from a champion's defence. It also gives the undercard a championship contest in a third weight class. That description remains the advertised arrangement and should be checked against the final card.

03 / BEYOND THE TITLE BILLING

Picasso vs Martin and the rest of the card

David “Rey” Picasso vs Carl Jammes Martin appears in the WBC line-up alongside the three bouts highlighted by the organiser. The cited full-card announcement does not specify a title for that pairing, so it is not labelled as a championship fight here.

The remaining announced supporting contests are Raymundo Rojas Garcia vs Reito Tsutsumi, Carlos Emilio Rojo Vazquez vs Flavius Biea, Hector Octavio Aguirre Martinez vs Brayan Leon Salgado, Erick Jahir Urvina Villegas vs Sultan Almohammed and Marcos Vazquez Rodriguez vs Bek Nurmaganbet.

Check the exact pairing when following these bouts. A card graphic can change without every broadcaster or bookmaker updating at the same moment. This guide does not assign unofficial odds, bout distances or a broadcast slot to the supporting matches.

04 / WHAT IS STILL TO COME

Running order, rounds and card changes

An announced fight card answers who is scheduled to fight. It does not automatically settle when each bout starts or which matches appear in a particular broadcast package. A final running order was not established from the sources checked for this page.

On fight night, use the broadcaster's live running order and the organiser's final updates. Earlier stoppages, longer bouts and production breaks can alter the timing. If you are checking betting markets, confirm the named fighters, scheduled distance and the operator's postponement or opponent-change rules before placing a selection.

05 / PLAN THE WHOLE EVENING

Undercard start time and UK viewing

The advertised event is on Saturday, 31 October 2026 at The Venue, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as listed by the official ticket seller. UK viewers need to account for an overnight broadcast when planning their evening.

The WBC viewing guide publishes a broadcast reference equivalent to 00:00 GMT on Sunday, 1 November. That reference does not establish when the first undercard bout begins. A separately verified UK start time for the complete undercard was not available for this update.

DAZN PPV is the organiser's announced international viewing route. Check the UK DAZN event listing for early-bout coverage, any separate preliminary stream, price and subscription requirements. Do not assume that every supporting bout is included in every package.
