Canelo vs. Mbilli has already taken place. The fight was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, October 31, 2026. For UK readers checking on November 1, the live event is over. DAZN published a 9 p.m. ring-walk listing, but conflicting time-zone labels mean that figure cannot be presented as a verified UK start time.
The UK was on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) that evening. Here is what the published schedules establish, where they disagree, and which viewing option makes sense now.
What time was Canelo vs. Mbilli in the UK?
DAZN’s UK event FAQ listed the main-event ring walk at 9 p.m. BST. However, British Summer Time had ended before fight night. Meanwhile, DAZN’s European listing listed 10 p.m. CET, which converts to 9 p.m. GMT.
| Published listing | Literal UK conversion | What it establishes |
| DAZN UK: 9 p.m. BST, October 31 | 8 p.m. GMT, October 31, if BST is read literally as UTC+1 | The UK listing used a summer-time label that did not apply that day |
| DAZN Europe: 10 p.m. CET, October 31 | 9 p.m. GMT, October 31; CET is UTC+1 | A different published schedule, one hour later after conversion |
These conversions are calculations, not confirmation of when the fighters actually entered the ring. The checked official listings do not resolve whether the UK page’s clock time or its BST label was wrong. An exact ring-walk time and first-bell time therefore remain unverified here.
Broadcast coverage, ring walks, and the opening bell also describe different moments. A scheduled ring walk should not be treated as an exact first-bell timestamp, particularly when earlier bouts can affect the running order.
Why GMT matters for this fight
The GOV.UK clock-change calendar confirms that the clocks went back on October 25, 2026. Consequently, London and the rest of the UK were on GMT six days later, on October 31. A verified time of 21:00 UTC would have meant 9 p.m. on UK clocks, with no date change.
This is why an old listing marked BST cannot simply be copied into a UK viewing guide. BST means UTC+1; GMT means UTC+0. Correcting the label without confirming the intended timestamp could move the advertised event by an hour.
Has the fight finished, and who won?
Yes. Reuters’ fight report, published October 31 at 23:11 UTC, confirms that Canelo Alvarez defeated Christian Mbilli by unanimous decision to reclaim the WBC super-middleweight title. The judges scored it 115–112, 116–111, and 117–110. That report establishes that the bout had ended before publication on November 1.
If an older page points to September 12, it refers to the original plan. The Ring’s event announcement confirmed the rescheduled October 31 event.
Replay, highlights, or a subscription: which should you choose?
The practical decision now is how much of the event you want to watch and whether you already have access. Compare the total cost and viewing window rather than assuming a subscription includes every fight.
| Your situation | Suggested approach | Main tradeoff |
| You already bought the PPV | Check your existing account for the replay before paying again | Access has a limited window |
| You want every round of this fight | Check the event’s replay availability and current UK checkout terms | Full coverage may involve both a subscription and a separate event charge |
| You regularly watch major boxing events | Compare an eligible Ultimate plan with individual purchases | Consider the full commitment, not only the monthly headline price |
| You only want the outcome or key moments | Read the result; look for official highlights if available | A written report or edited clips cannot replace every round |
The event FAQ says eligible DAZN Ultimate subscribers have this PPV included, while other plans can require an additional purchase. It also describes a 12-month subscription term when upgrading an existing installment subscription. Check the terms shown to your UK account before committing; no current checkout price has been verified for this article.
How long is the replay available?
DAZN’s replay guidance says video on demand is usually available within four hours after an event finishes, with seven days to watch and rewatch. Treat that as the published access policy, not confirmation that a particular replay is already playable in your account. Check the event tile and any displayed expiry before buying.
For an existing purchase, DAZN’s pay-per-view guide explains that events can be found through the homepage or search. Sign in with the purchasing account and check access on your intended screen. Its PPV policy limits viewing to one device at a time, so plan accordingly if sharing the evening with friends.
Before purchasing, confirm that the listing is for the October 31 Canelo–Mbilli event and that replay access is included in the offer shown to you.
