Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will now leave Las Vegas, Nevada, to explore unknown territory in Saudi Arabia where he will face William Scull.
This will be an unprecedented fight that, unlike others, will put him to the test with another aspect that a boxing high command has already warned him about.
The threat to “Canelo” according to Sulaimán
The schedule is a topic of conversation around the gala that will be held in Riyadh. It was the same President of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaiman, who spoke about it, saying that it must be a factor that Canelo must take into account.
“You have to be well acclimated, well accustomed. You can’t cheat the body clock. I hope they both arrive with enough time to get used to it. Because the air is very heavy in Saudi Arabia. It’s different food, different schedule. Everything starts very late at night,” said Sulaiman.
What advice do you give Canelo Alvarez?
The concern is that the boxers will jump into the fight at 6:00 a.m. local time, a fact that conditions them in case they are not prepared to face this challenge.
“I’ve gone with three, four days and it does cost you a lot of work. If Canelo arrives about three weeks earlier, he should be fine,” he advised.
In addition to the Guadalajara native, Mexicans Marco Verde and Jaime Munguía will also fight.
“The Mexican is always a reference in boxing worldwide. We have Marco Verde, Munguía in the big rematch and Canelo in the main event. That speaks of the importance of the Latin boxer, of the Mexican boxer in the world,” added Sulaimán, highlighting the presence of Aztec fighters.
