Mexico v The World - September 12 2026 - Saudi Arabia

[Taansend]

So we know that Canelo is going to be fighting one of the Super-middleweight Champions on this card. Who is will be we don't know yet.

Turkish wants all Mexican/Mexican-American on one side against the best of the rest on the other.

So who else do you think will make it?

Will Richard Torrez Jr count on the Mexican side? He's the best Heavyweight I can think of for Mexico right now?

Moving down in weight we have the winner of the proposed bout between Gilberto Ramirez & David Benavidez.

If Vergil Ortiz gets past Boots would he get on the show?

Ernesto "Super" Mercado might be an outside shout at Lightwelter. Also Isaac Cruz or Oscar Duarte if he overcomes Hitchins.

Figueroa at Featherweight has been mentioned.

And Bam Rodriguez is a big favourite of Turki.

Any other fighters being rumoured to be on the show or is it too early to tell yet?

Between Mexico and Mexican Americans, there are some very high level boxers and prospects. Let's hope they're matched competitively rather than onesided.

These are all the Mexican and mexican-americans (confirmed heritage) in the top 15 in any division:
Richard Torrez, Andy Ruiz*, Zurdo, Benavidez, Diego Pacheco, Canelo, Munguía, Jesús Ramos, Isaac Lucero, Jorge García Pérez, Vergil Ortiz, Fundora, Ryan Garcia, Jose Carlos Ramirez, Mario Barrios, Curiel, Isaac Cruz, Arnold Barboza, William Zepeda, Muratalla, Navarrete, Eduardo Núñez, Eduardo Hernández, Óscar Valdez, Mauricio Lara, Espinoza, Nery, Brandon Figueroa, Bryan Mercado, David Picasso, Sebastian Hernandez, Celex Castro, José Sánchez, Christian Medina, Jose Salas, David Cuéllar, Estrada, Bam Rodríguez, Christopher López, Pedro Guevara, Willibaldo García, Francisco Rodríguez, Yoali Mosqueda, Angel Ayala, Joselito Velásquez, Ricardo Sandoval, Sergio Mendoza, Erik Badillo, Aarón De La Cruz, Russell Acosta.

There's quite a few female boxers too. So there's plenty to choose from but I doubt it will be all the big names only.

I left out Ryan Garcia because he's Ryan Garcia.

Canelo vs Mbilli with Sheeraz vs Pacheco as undercard If Ortiz can get past Ennis, he would not be an undercard fighter

[gilgamesh]

Any number of good Mexican fighters you could put on the card. A pretty wide range of big matchups you could have them involved in.

Bam Rodriguez is definitely gonna be on the card. David Benavidez probably won't like the idea of being on Canelo's undercard so I wouldn't look for him to be there. Vergil Ortiz if he fought Boots Ennis, win or lose would surely still be a big enough name to throw onto the card.

I'd like to see Bam take on Seiya Tsutsumi or someone like that.

An opponent for Canelo is being finalized according to Turki

I really hope so. Love that fight

So now that Canelo v Mbilli is (about to be) confirmed, who's next?

I think Munguia will be in undercard...maybe against Sheeraz?

Possibly. Or maybe Adames, who's moving up.
