Canelo Alvarez looks to become a two-time undisputed champion when he faces William Scull on May 3 for super middleweight gold. The fight airs on DAZN worldwide.
Canelo (62-2-2) competes outside North America for the first time in his career. It took him 11 months to hold all the gold at super middleweight. If he wins, he hopes to face Terence Crawford before the year ends.
Scull (23-0) was the mandatory challenger for Canelo, but a fight didn’t materialize, so the IBF stripped Canelo. He beat Vladimir Shishkin to become the IBF champion. While Scull holds gold, a win against Canelo would be the cherry on top of a magical few months.
“I’ve been ready for this moment. It took me a while to get invited to the party, but I assure you, I will be taking home those belts,” Scull said.
