Mexican boxer Saul Canelo Alvarez continues to prepare for his next fight on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against Cuban William Scull.
The Mexican fighter will try to defeat Scull and become the unified super middleweight champion again, but the opponent will not be easy, and Canelo’s manager, Eddy Reynoso, has already spoken with his pupil about the risks of facing the Caribbean fighter.
Scull’s hunger for victory makes him very dangerous
Reynoso, who has worked with Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) since his early days as a fighter, warned his pupil about the risks of facing Scull, the current IBF world champion in the category, and said that he has all the characteristics of being a fighter who could cause damage to the Mexican.
The handler recalled that Scull is an undefeated boxer with a record of 23 wins in 23 fights and nine knockouts, but above all he is a fighter hungry for victory, who will enter the ring with nothing to lose, but a lot to gain, especially if he manages to overcome the legend of Mexican and world boxing.
“This is the fight of my life,” Scull said of the fight against Canelo. “I know I’m not known in the world, but I have a title won in the ring and I knew Canelo was going to come for my belt, my turn came,” said Scull, and those kinds of statements are what put Reynoso on alert.
Scull is very dangerous, he is a tall, strong, explosive fighter, who goes out in the first five rounds to give it his all. He doesn’t know defeat, he is a world champion, you have to give him his respect.
“It brings hunger, it brings the hunger to get to the big fights and those are the ones that are doubly dangerous, so we are going to prepare hard to achieve success,” Reynoso told Azteca Deportes.
“At these levels knockouts are difficult. Scull is a slippery fighter, with great defensive technique, young, undefeated, he is very strong,” added the manager. “In a fight there can be a knockout, but the decision is also welcome and, as I say, when there are two fighters who are technical, who handle the defense well, is when knockouts are more complicated, but we will prepare well to look for it.”
