Canelo Alvarez Faces William Scull for Undisputed Title May 3 in Riyadh

Canelo Alvarez will face IBF champion William Scull for the undisputed super middleweight title on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as announced by Turki Alalshikh. This bout marks the first of a lucrative four-fight deal Alvarez signed with Riyadh Season, reversing earlier negotiations for a fight against Jake Paul. Alvarez, who currently holds the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles, aims to regain the IBF title he vacated last year when he opted not to fight Scull. Scull, undefeated with a record of 23-0, won the IBF title in October and will be looking to upset the favored Alvarez. A potential victory for Alvarez would set up a highly anticipated fight against Terence Crawford on September 13, where all four titles would be at stake. This fight promises to reshape the landscape of boxing in the super middleweight division.
