Canelo Alvarez (62 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws) vs William Scull (23 wins and 0 losses) is set on May 3, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for 168 pounds super-middleweight title.
The 168 pounds is the weight class that Crawford and Canelo will settle on September 2025 if Canelo defeat Scull. However, Floyd Mayweather Jr. suggested Crawford vs Benavidez if Canelo refuse.
“If Crawford wants to go up to 168 lbs and wants to fight Canelo bad, and Benavidez wants to fight Canelo bad – if they can’t get Canelo, they can fight each other,” Mayweather exclaimed.
Last March 27, 2025 Canelo ranted against Benavidez (29 wins and 0 losses) and blurted that David is not a champion and not in his weight class yet David has a WBA light heavyweight title at 168lbs.
It can be recalled that Canelo vs Crawford went vague until promoter Turki Al-Sheikh announced his four-fight deal with Alvarez last February 7, 2025.
“Don’t mess with the lion … 4 fights for Canelo with Riyadh Season … The Deal is done … A Lion doesn’t lose sleep over opinion of a sheep … Fear the lion not the jungle..” Turki posted on his social media.
As of this writing, Canelo vs William is final and the three remaining fights out of four deals are yet to be concluded after the fight.
