Canelo Faces Scull in Saudi Arabia Unification

Canelo Alvarez will defend his WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles against IBF champion William Scull in a unification bout on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marks the first fight in a four-bout deal for Alvarez in Saudi Arabia and will air exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view. Alvarez, the heavy favorite, is expected to win decisively over the less-known Scull, with the bout setting the stage for a possible September superfight against Terence Crawford. The undercard features Badou Jack defending the WBC cruiserweight title. Alvarez's victory would secure his undisputed status at 168 pounds and pave the way for Crawford, who would move up in weight to face him. The event highlights Saudi Arabia's growing prominence in international boxing.
