The first of two undisputed title fights this weekend will see Canelo Alvarez attempt to regain the IBF super middleweight title from William Scull in his first fight outside of North America.

The only victories of note for Scull came in his last two fights in 2024 when he outpointed American journeyman Sean Hemphill in an eight-round bout (on the Alvarez-Jaime Munguia pay-per-view undercard) before edging out the unbeaten Shishkin in a less-than-inspiring performance.
