Canelo Álvarez to Face William Scull in Riyadh

The Mexican boxer, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez, will return to the ring next Saturday, May 3, facing William Scull in a fight where both will put their belts on the line. Álvarez is expected to reclaim the IBF belt and thus own all four super middleweight belts, after having lost it previously for refusing to fight against his mandatory challenger from that organization.

Álvarez, recognized as one of the best boxers today, has been involved in controversies outside the ring, such as the recent incident where he hit a reporter. His upcoming fight against William Scull has generated high expectations in the boxing world.

During an interview before the fight, DAZN journalist ShowBizz The Adult proposed to Álvarez a dynamic where he would allow Álvarez to hit him if he believed that any other boxer was superior to him. Upon mentioning Dmitry Bivol, Álvarez did not hesitate to deliver a punch to the stomach of the interviewer, who pretended to be hurt in a joking tone.

The media tour to promote the fight between Álvarez and Scull continues, with this fight being an opportunity for the Mexican fighter to regain his position as undisputed champion in a bout that will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
