Canelo’s team approaches William Scull for May title fight

IBF super middleweight champion William Scull revealed today that Canelo Alvarez’s team has approached him for an undisputed championship fight at 168 in May in Las Vegas.

If the fight against the Cuban Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) takes place, Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs), WBA, WBC and WBO 168-pound champion, would have the opportunity to become twice undisputed. bite.

Canelo calling

This probably won’t make Terence Crawford happy because he was hoping to move up to 168 to challenge Canelo for their unified titles. However, that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen for Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), and he’ll need to make other plans, such as fighting at 154 or retiring. Well, we don’t always get what we want.

It doesn’t look good for Crawford with his dreams of fighting Canelo, but it probably won’t leave him sitting around and waiting for that fight to happen.

If he had stayed busy fighting often, he wouldn’t need to work so hard to have a golden parachute fight against Canelo. He would make a lot of money from his other fights. If Crawford were to move up to 175, he could face David Benavidez and try to put himself in position to get a big payday fighting undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev. Crawford reportedly trains with light heavyweights all the time.

Scull, 32, recently captured the vacant IBF title with a questionable 12-round unanimous decision victory over Vladimir Shishkin on October 19 at the Stadthalle, Falkensee, Germany. The scores were 116-113, 116-112 and 115-113. Many boxing fans felt that Shishkin had done enough to deserve the victory.

The great opportunity of the Scull

“William Scull confirms for the Cubanos Punos program that there is a rapprochement between his team and the #Canelo Team for a possible unifying confrontation next May in Las Vegas. Scull adds that this January 10 there will be an official meeting between both teams to finally agree on everything. Furthermore, the IBF super middleweight world champion clarifies that Berlanga did exist as a possibility, as did Christian Mbilli, who was ruled out for monetary reasons,” said Carlos Linares in unknown.
