Canelo Alvarez defeats William Scull to reclaim undisputed title

Canelo Alvarez defeated William Scull by unanimous points decision on May 3, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reclaiming the undisputed super middleweight title.
The fight occurred because Alvarez was stripped of the IBF belt after declining a mandatory defense against Scull, who had won that title in October 2024.
Alvarez entered with the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts and brought vast experience with a 63-2-2 record, while Scull was undefeated at 23-0 with a patient, counter-punching style.
The bout at Anb Arena aired globally on DAZN and FITEPASS.COM, featured Alvarez landing power body shots despite throwing 152 punches to Scull's 293, and was scored 115-113 by one judge.
Alvarez solidified his reign as undisputed super middleweight champion and began promotion for a September 12 showdown against Terence Crawford, who will move up a weight class to face him.
