Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull this Saturday for undisputed title

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) will fight this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia against William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) for undisputed super-middleweight title.

Canelo holds WBC, WBO and WBA belts, and Scull is IBF champion.

For Canelo will be first time that he fights outside North America.

“I’m very excited to be here in Riyadh,” Alvarez said of his first career fight outside of North America. “That’s the only part that feels different. It’s always been a dream to fight in another country. I’m about to do it and I’m excited. It’s the same [excitement] for me and I’m ready for Saturday.

“The beginning was a little bit difficult. Not only for the time but the weather, it’s a little bit heavy. That’s why I come three weeks before. I knew it was going to happen and now I’m ready.”

Scull is just happy to have the opportunity at all, considering this fight wasn’t even on the table a year ago.

“We were surprised, to be honest,” Scull, 32, told DAZN’s Chris Mannix during his time on the mic. “But you’re always in training to be prepared for something like this come along. We thank Canelo and his team for accepting this fight. Now we’re here and ready.”
