Mexican boxer Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez will face William Scull in a fight scheduled for May 3 in Saudi Arabia. The bout is an opportunity for Canelo to reclaim the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title, which he lost in September 2024 after not facing Scull previously, who now holds the belt.
Canelo, current champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), the World Boxing Association (WBA), and the World Boxing Organization (WBO), is aiming to once again unify the super middleweight titles. Meanwhile, the Cuban opponent arrives with an undefeated record of 23-0. However, just two weeks before the fight, the Mexican star has made a splash on social media.
