Canelo was annoyed today when he said that the super middle champion IBF William Scull said that he slowed down tardy in his career and simply cope with his famed name. The Mexican star said that Scull (23-0, 9 KO) “will feel what it is like” to be with him in the ring on Saturday evening.

WBA, WBC and WBO 168-LB Champion Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) will fight the undefeated SCULL for the unquestionable average championship on Saturday, May 3, live in Dazn PPV in a place in Riyjad, Saudi Arabia.

Alvarez wants to take the title of IBF Sculla from him so that he can be a champion of four stripes for the second time and have stripes in his possession when he will face Crawford in October.

Focused on Scull

“This is one of my dreams to fight in another country, and now I’m close to it,” said Canelo Alvarez Fight Hub tv About the fight in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, against William Scull on Saturday. “I watched a bit of him [Scull] fights. He is a hard warrior, but nothing recent for me. “

Canelo from Mexico has already technically fought in another country, taking into account his numerous fights in the USA, but it seems that he does not consider it to be in a separate region.

“I don’t have another fight in the future. I just have my fight with William Scull and all this. I am 100% focused on this fight, because I was often in this position,” said Canelo, asked if it is hard for him to focus on Scull when he has a gigantic competition against Terenka Crawford in October.

It’s a good idea not to look out of Scull, because after four rounds he lacked gas in the last few fights. If he disappears early against Scull, the Cuban could surpass him in the last 7 to 9 rounds to win the decision.

Alvarez’s power remains elite, but his work rate drops to almost zero after the fourth round, enabling smaller warriors to win rounds. We saw it in the last two fights of Canelo from Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia. Both are produced, but they still won rounds because of the release of 34-year-old Canelo.

“When I have a fight, they always ask me for another fight. Nothing recent for me. The difference is a different country, because I fought with every style, every fight and nothing recent for me,” said Canelo about what he thinks about the fight with Cuban Szula.

Canelo saw every style, but it can now be developed. This could be his backing against Scull. The Cuban will work strenuous throughout the fight and could potentially get irate.

Provocation

“My challenge is now adapting to this country [acclimate] And that’s all. I always train 100%. I like to be a certain training camp. On Saturday he will feel, “said Canelo, when he said Scull said he released and coping with his name at the end of his career.

“I don’t want to talk much, but on Saturday I will feel something else. [it’s like to] Fight with a great warrior on Saturday evening. Wait a little.

“I can play golf, but he can’t play boxing,” said Canelo about Tiger Woods.

David Benavidez’s move up to heavyweight no longer sounds like a fantasy after trainer Robert Garcia openly predicted victories over Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder while discussing Benavidez’s future following his dominant win over Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.

Robert said Benavidez already has the style and hand speed to cause trouble for boxing’s biggest names if he ultimately decides to move up.


“I think Benavidez beats all three,” Garcia told Fino Boxing as Fury, Joshua and Wilder were raised as potential future opponents. “They are ponderous compared to Benavidez. They won’t even have a chance to throw a punch. Before Ben hits them 20 times.”

Garcia admitted that Fury would still have the hardest task due to his size, but he still supported Benavidez, who was going to break him with a powerful punch.

“I think the hardest one would have to be Fury because the weight is hefty. It’s challenging,” Garcia said. “But even then, if he has his hand on Benavidez, Benavidez will throw those 20-punch combinations to the body and that’s it. That’s it.”

Robert’s comments came after Benavidez stopped Ramirez in a performance that sparked debate about how far the undefeated star can go after already winning the super middleweight and cruiserweight titles. Garcia said he still wants Benavidez to spend more time at cruiserweight before making the full move to heavyweight.

“I think he could fight at heavyweight,” Garcia said. “But I would say two years, a year and a half, three more cruiserweight fights and then I’ll move up to heavyweight.”

Garcia also mentioned Andy Ruiz Jr., Richard Torrez Jr., Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev as potential future opponents when discussing Benavidez’s future path.

Canelo Alvarez responds to Jake Paul’s $200m fight offer

Jake Paul’s claim that he found $200 million specifically for a potential fight with Canelo Alvarez sparked a direct response from the Mexican champion.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was scheduled to collide with Canelo in May 2025, but Turki Alalshikh stepped in and signed the then super middleweight king to a multi-fight contract.

It made Alvarez a two-time undisputed champion against William Scull before losing his four major titles in a unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford last September.

However, since Crawford announced his retirement and vacated the belts, Canelo is scheduled to fight for the world title in September this year in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

The most likely opponent seems to be WBC champion Christian Mbilli, who is coming off a fascinating draw with Lester Martinez on the Canelo-Crawford card.

However, despite this plan, Paul appears to be trying to get back into his game with the 35-year-old, insisting that a $200 million purse remains up for grabs.

The 29-year-old revealed the news on a live broadcast earlier this week, suggesting it is the “biggest fight” in boxing.

“Canelo, I have $200 million for you. Uncomplicated money. Jake Paul vs. Canelo – let’s finish it. This is what the fans have been waiting for; this is the biggest fight you can have in boxing. I think this will be the next fight.

In response, Canelo simply posted three laughing emojis on his Instagram story, signaling that Paul’s offer was not to be taken seriously.

After all, there is A a chance the American may never box again, given the injuries he sustained to his jaw after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in December.

Jake Paul responded to Canelo Alvarez after the undisputed super middleweight champion previously reacted to talk of a potential fight between the two with laughing emojis on social media.

While greeting fans and media during a public appearance this week, Jake was asked what financial terms he believed would be needed to make the fight happen.


“Yes, 200 [million] for him 300[millionformeWe’llfinalizethedealEasywork”-PaulsaidintheinterviewwithFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealCanelo[millionformeWe’llgetthedealdoneEasywork”saidPaultoFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealwithCanelo[milionówdlamnieSfinalizujemytransakcjęŁatwapraca”–powiedziałPaulwrozmowiezFightHubTVzapytanyomożliwąumowęzCanelo[millionformeWe’llgetthedealdoneEasywork”saidPaultoFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealwithCanelo

The comment immediately drew attention due to the huge figure associated with the fight. Jake has continued to call for a fight with Canelo over the past year, despite criticism from many boxing fans and fighters who viewed the fight as unrealistic.

Jake was then asked about Canelo and responded with laughing emojis when the topic of a fight between the two came up online.

“I don’t know what that means, but he won’t laugh when I kick his ass,” Paul said.

The rivalry between the two continues to escalate publicly through interviews and exchanges on social media, even though no official negotiations have been announced.

Jake has mentioned Canelo multiple times in interviews over the past year, keeping the possibility of a future fight circulating despite widespread skepticism in boxing circles.

Canelo is currently scheduled to face Christian Mbilli later this year in Riyad, Saudi Arabia, while Jake continues to rehabilitate from injuries suffered in his December 2025 fight against Anthony Joshua.
