Stripped after his IBF super-middleweight title for fighting Edgar Berlanga last time out instead of mandatory challenger Scull, Canelo has the chance to become undisputed at 168 for the second time. The only fighter in history to have united all four belts at the weight, the 34-year-old will fight in Saudi Arabia for the first time in a 66-fight career. A devastating body puncher, his only defeats have come against the super-elite — Floyd Mayweather when he was still a little green behind the ears and Dimitry Bivol up at light heavyweight.
Scull is unbeaten, having won the IBF belt against Vladimir Shishkin last October via a unanimous decision, but the 32-year-old has never come close to fighting anyone of Canelo's craft and power. If he's to cause the biggest of upsets, the Cuban must use his size and reach advantages and earn the Mexican's respect early — otherwise Alvarez has a habit of walking through opponents.
Canelo is rumored to be eyeing a monumental showdown against the unbeaten pound-for-pound contender Terrence Crawford, but first he needs to take care of business.
Check out all the need-to-know information on how to watch Canelo vs Scull live streams below, plus a stacked undercard — in the U.S. or abroad.
Canelo vs Scull press conference and weigh-in
Both fighters made weight comfortably yesterday – Scull was a full two pounds under the 168lbs limit – and we’re all set for this evening’s huge fight in Saudi Arabia.
The fighters squared up after tipping scales and looked determined to make the blockbusting fight one to remember.
Canelo was in confident mood at the pre-fight press conference earlier this week.
“He says he’s going to eat me but the only thing he’s going to eat is this [raises his fists],” Alvarez said. “Everybody always talks a lot of s*** but he’s going to feel something different for sure.”
For his part, Scully is determined to cause the upset.
“I left Cuba and gone on to face opponents in 24 different countries,” said Scull, who has fought in Germany and Argentina, as well as his native Cuba. "I’ve been against many fighters who have underestimated me. Just like on those occasions, I’m here to prove everyone wrong. I’m thankful for the chance to unify and I’m ready to say, ‘Yes I can.’”
Can I watch a Canelo vs Scull live stream for free?
Unfortunately not. In the past, fight fans in Mexico have been lucky enough to watch Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez fights for free on Azteca 7. But that won't be possible this time because only streaming service DAZN has the rights to show the Canelo vs Scull fight live.
If you live in Mexico, though, you can watch a pre-record of the fight in its entirety, albeit not live and as it happens. The programme will start at 10 p.m. CST, though details are yet to be released about the exact start time of the Canelo vs Scull fight.
If you're a Mexican citizen, but you're not in Mexico right now, remember to fire up a VPN to be able to watch the pre-recorded Canelo vs Scull fight as if you were back home. We recommend NordVPN, scroll down for more information.
