Alvarez and Scull will battle for the Absolute title on May 4 in Saudi Arabia

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 9, 2025, 2:51 a.m.

Saul Alvarez's first fight under the Riyadh Season contract signed the day before has been officially announced.

On Sunday, Turki Al Al-Sheikh announced that Alvarez - the WBO, WBA and WBC super middleweight champion - will fight undefeated IBF belt holder William Scull on May 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

A Canelo victory could make his megafight with Terence Crawford, expected to take place Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, even bigger.

Alvarez, 34, defeated Edgar Berlanga by unanimous judges' decision in his last ring appearance, retaining his titles last September. He is on a streak of five straight wins since losing to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022.

Scull, 32, had two fights last year, taking on Sean Hemphill and Vladimir Shishkin on points.
