Canelo Alvarez and William Scull Set for May 3rd

Canelo Alvarez and William Scull, set for May 3 in Saudi Arabia as part of the Riyadh Season, where Canelo aims to reclaim the IBF super middleweight title.

Canelo, a Mexican boxing superstar holding the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles, faces Scull, an undefeated Cuban fighter and current IBF champion, in a bout that could restore Canelo’s undisputed status, amid discussions about simplifying boxing’s championship structure.

The event is backed by Turki Alalshikh, a key figure in Saudi Arabia’s boxing promotions, who has been pushing for high-profile fights and changes in the sport, including limiting the number of recognized titles per division.
