• Canelo Alvarez defeated William Scull by unanimous decision to reclaim his undisputed super middleweight titles.
• The fight took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking Alvarez's debut outside the U.S. and Mexico.
• Alvarez will face former welterweight champion Terence Crawford in September.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez successfully re-unified the IBF super middleweight championship along with his WBA (Super), WBC, and WBO belts with a unanimous decision victory over William Scull. This win sets the stage for an anticipated bout against former welterweight champion Terence Crawford in September, according to channelnewsasia and aljazeera.

Cuba's Scull, despite having an advantage in height and reach over Alvarez, struggled to defend against the Mexican's persistent body shots, ultimately suffering the first loss of his professional career. Alvarez's methodical approach and effective strategy proved decisive, as reflected in the judges' scores of 115-113, 116-112, and 119-109, according to bbc and reuters.

Post-fight, Alvarez expressed his frustration with Scull's fighting style, stating, "For me it's a boring fight. [Scull was] not trying to win, just trying to survive. I hate these kinds of fights," highlighting the tension in a match that lacked aggression from Scull's side, as reported by aljazeera and reuters.

Fighting outside of his usual venues for the first time, Alvarez showcased his ability to adapt by landing a total of 40 body shots compared to Scull's six, successfully regaining the undisputed title at 168 pounds once again. Alvarez's victory enhances his record to 63 wins, with 39 knockouts, as mentioned by bbc and channelnewsasia.

Looking ahead, Alvarez anticipates his fight with Crawford, calling him "one of the best out there." Crawford, who has yet to lose a professional bout, stated, "In September, I’ll show the world what greatness looks like," indicating his readiness for the challenge, according to reuters and aljazeera.
