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, to reclaim the undisputed super middleweight title at 168 pounds.
The bout followed Alvarez's vacating of the IBF belt last July after declining a mandatory defense against the undefeated Cuban contender Scull, who won the IBF title in October 2024.
Alvarez entered with the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles, threw 152 punches mostly to the body, while Scull, with a 23-0 record, threw 293 punches using a disciplined, counter-punching southpaw style.
Judges scored the fight 115-113, 116-112, and 119-109 for Alvarez, improving his record to 63-2-2 with 39 knockouts and making him undisputed titlist in this division for the second time.
Following the win, Alvarez announced a September fight against Terence Crawford, who will move up in weight to challenge Alvarez’s reign as the sport’s biggest star.
