Canelo Álvarez remains committed to his world title bout in Saudi Arabia later this month, even after a string of deadly attacks on airports and other facilities in the kingdom, according to Turki al-Sheikh, the Saudi official who has emerged as a key figure in boxing.

The Mexican star is set to face the undefeated Christian Mbilli for the WBC super-middleweight title in Riyadh on 31 October, three weeks after Saturday’s missile strike on the Saudi capital’s main international airport killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300.
