Canelo Alvarez has a date and a site for his next fight.

Turki Alalshikh and Alvarez announced in a video posted on The Ring’s social media channels Thursday that the Mexican superstar will return to the ring September 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Alvarez’s opponent hasn’t been determined.

“The 12th of September, a big, big, big fight,” said Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and owner of The Ring. “And this will be the first card for Canelo Promotions. It will be named ‘Mexico Against the World.’ All the fighters from the team of Canelo against the world. And [Alvarez] in the main event [for] a world title, and it will be a surprise in Saudi Arabia, in sha Allah.”

Guadalajara’s Alvarez, 35, will fight for the first time in almost exactly a year, assuming he returns the Saturday before Mexican Independence Day. The four-division champion and former pound-for-pound king was expected to take a lengthy break following elbow surgery soon after his unanimous-decision defeat to Terence Crawford on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) has said he will continue to fight for however long his body can withstand the rigors of intense training.

He exercised his contractual right to a rematch with Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs), but Alvarez must find a different opponent unless Crawford comes out of retirement for what would be another huge purse. The 38-year-old Crawford, a five-division champion from Omaha, Nebraska, announced December 16 that he decided after a fulfilling, legacy-defining victory to end his Hall-of-Fame career.
