Alvarez secures four new belts in his possession.

Get ready for some major boxing action, as Canelo Alvarez, the four-time world champion, just clinched the undisputed super-middleweight title for the second time against William Scull! The fight took place late on May 4, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The scores were tight, but Canelo took the win with a unanimous decision, with the judges' scores reading 115-113, 116-112, and 119-109. Canelo boasts a perfect 10-0 record in the super-middleweight division.

The night didn't end there as Turki Alalshikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, brought Terence Crawford into the ring, promising a face-off for the "fight of the century"! This epic duel between two titans in the boxing world is yet to be scheduled.

Canelo entered the ring against Scull with the WBA, WBC, and WBO super-middleweight titles. Crawford, another four-time world champion, has held titles from lightweight to light middleweight. Before this, Canelo had been stripped of the IBF title due to declining a mandatory defense against Scull.

The Scull fight wasn't a crowd-pleaser as Scull, who was previously undefeated, used a mobile style that frustrated Canelo. Fighting abroad for the first time, Canelo had to adapt to the time zone difference.

In his post-fight interview, Canelo said, "We did it! We're here with the title as the champion. It doesn't matter if it was a thrilling contest or not, we won!"

Looking ahead to the fight against Crawford, slated for September 12, Canelo stated, "I'm feeling fantastic. Crawford is one of the best out there, and I can't wait to share the ring with him. It's going to be a pleasure!"

Crawford, who was present at the event, declared, "I'm feeling great! I feel blessed. The world is going to witness greatness in September!"

Stay tuned for more exciting updates on this much-anticipated matchup between Canelo and Crawford!
