Canelo Alvarez will return to the ring and for the first time he will do so in Saudi Arabia to face Cuban William Scull for the unification of the super middleweight title of the WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF. The latter is in the hands of the Caribbean fighter, so if the Mexican wins, he will be proclaimed as absolute and undisputed champion in all his associations.Canelo Alvarez, 34, will step into the ring for the 67th time, where he boasts a record of 62 wins, 39 of which have been by KO, two draws and only two losses suffered against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol. This will be the first fight of the year for the Mexican boxer, remembering that his boxing schedule is carried out in May to commemorate the “Cinco de Mayo Festivities” and in September to celebrate the “Patriotic Festivities”.
His opponent will be William Scull, who will arrive undefeated in 29 fights, nine of which have been by KO. The Cuban fighter’s advantage is his height, measuring 1.81 meters, and he is 10 centimeters taller than the Mexican, which is why he has declared that he will keep Canelo at a distance to tire him out and obtain victory by decision, in the fighter’s own words.
