Saúl Canelo Álvarez, Mexico’s top boxing star, will defend his supremacy as undisputed super middleweight champion this Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against Cuban challenger William Scull, current International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion.
The fight, organized to coincide with the traditional Cinco de Mayo celebration in the United States, promises to be one of the most important events of the year for Hispanic fans.
What time and where to watch the fight?
The main event between Canelo Alvarez and William Scull is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, May 3.
Although it will be held at 6:00 a.m. local time in Saudi Arabia, the broadcast was strategically timed to favor viewers in the United States and Mexico.
The entire card, including the Canelo fight, will be streamed live on DAZN ‘s worldwide platform, available via streaming subscription.
Why do they confront each other?
Originally, Canelo Alvarez was scheduled to face William Scull in 2024 as an IBF mandatory defense.
However, he then opted for a fight against Edgar Berlanga.
Now, in 2025, Alvarez has decided to regain the IBF belt, fulfilling his mandatory commitment.

The choice of Scull, nicknamed “The Indomitable One,” is no accident.
Although little known in the media, the Cuban is undefeated and represents a legitimate challenge for the tapatío.
However, many analysts see this fight as a preamble to a potential mega-fight for Canelo against Terence Crawford next September.
