Canelo Alvarez vs William Scull
Fight details
Having dominated the sport, Canelo Alvarez could cement his legacy as a two-time undisputed super middleweight champion on May 3. William Scull faces the daunting task of doing what Caleb Plant couldn’t in 2021—stopping the Mexican superstar from etching his name deeper into boxing history. Yet, with Scull pegged as an even steeper underdog, a victory for the Cuban would deliver one of the most seismic upsets of the century.
