Get ready for some high-stakes boxing action this Saturday, May 3rd, as Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez takes on William Scull in the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This epic encounter will determine the fate of the IBF, WBC, and WBO super-middleweight titles.
Canelo, who has held the unofficial title of the 168lbs division's undisputed king for years, initially refused to face Scull, the mandatory challenger, leading to a temporary stripping of his IBF belt. However, Canelo has bounced back strongly, winning his last five fights after a 2022 loss to Dmitry Bivol, taking his record to an impressive 62-2-2.
This is a golden opportunity for American challenger Scull, who has a record of 23-0, with 9 KO, to become just the third person to beat Canelo in his illustrious career. The fight is scheduled for a 12-round super-middleweight title fight.
This bout is significant for both fighters. Canelo aims to unify the division once more, while Scull is set to pocket a substantial paycheck. Scull mentioned to talkSPORT.com that the money from this fight will improve the living conditions of his family in Cuba and Argentina.
