Canelo, 34, from Guadalajara, will face IBF super-middleweight champion Scull as he tries to make history. The fight gives Alvarez a chance to become a two-time undisputed champion at 168lbs, something no boxer has ever done before.
But Canelo's plans don't stop there. He's already got a provisional agreement to fight Terence 'Bud' Crawford later this year. These fights show Alvarez is still hungry for success and looking to cement his legacy in the sport.
In a recent interview with iFL TV, Canelo made a promise to his UK fans. He said:
"I'm gonna be soon there, I promise. Before I retire I'm gonna fight in London for sure."
This commitment to fight in London before hanging up his gloves has got British boxing fans excited.
Speaking of British boxers, there's talk of Canelo possibly facing Chris Eubank Jr in the next 12 to 18 months. Eubank Jr recently beat Conor Benn in London on April 26, and now Riyadh Season's Turki Alalshikh has hinted at a potential matchup with Canelo.
While Canelo focuses on his upcoming fights, Eubank Jr might have his hands full with a rematch against Conor Benn. That fight is expected to happen before the end of the year.
Canelo's fight against Scull is just days away, and fans around the world are eager to see if the Mexican star can add another chapter to his already impressive boxing story.
