Official: Canelo to Face William Scull

It’s official: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) will step into the ring with IBF super middleweight champion William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bout will be for the undisputed super middleweight championship, marking Canelo’s first fight under his new deal with Riyadh Season.

Back in September, Alvarez defeated Edgar Berlanga via unanimous decision but opted not to face Scull, which resulted in him losing his IBF title outside the ring.

Meanwhile, William Scull cemented his status as a top contender in October with a unanimous decision victory over Vladimir Shishkin.

Now, the two will finally settle their unfinished business in the first undisputed title fight of 2025.
