Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fights William Scull tonight, as the Mexican icon makes his Saudi debut and aims to preserve a super-fight with Terence Crawford.
Canelo puts his unified super-middleweight titles on the line against IBF champion Scull, in a bid to become a two-time undisputed champion in the division.

And if Canelo is victorious, he’ll stay on track for a planned super-fight with Crawford, a fellow pound-for-pound talent who is due to venture up to 167lb to box Alvarez in September.
Scull, 32, is undefeated, but the Cuban has never faced an opponent of Canelo’s pedigree. Tonight’s main event in Riyadh could therefore produce a showcase performance from Alvarez, 34, as he approaches the biggest bout of his career.
