Arthur Biyarslanov arrives, doubts over Lindolfo Delgado traveling to Saudi Arabia

Arthur Biyarslanov has arrived in Riyadh alongside Christian Mbilli ahead of the October 31 "Mexico vs. The World" card, but doubts remain over whether opponent Lindolfo Delgado will make the journey. Biyarslanov and Delgado are scheduled to fight for a vacant title on the undercard of Mbilli's WBC super middleweight title defence against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Delgado's trainer, Robert Garcia, declined to comment on the fighter's travel plans.

The uncertainty follows regional unrest and strikes on Riyadh's airport, which prompted organisers SELA and Turki Alalshikh to face criticism for proceeding with the event. While Biyarslanov and Mbilli reportedly took an alternative travel route to reach the Saudi capital, airport terminals have begun reopening and local sporting events have continued as scheduled.
