The only victories of note for Scull came in his last two fights in 2024 when he outpointed American journeyman Sean Hemphill in an eight-round bout (on the Alvarez-Jaime Munguia pay-per-view undercard) before edging out the unbeaten Shishkin in a less-than-inspiring performance.

Alvarez has the WBA, WBC and WBO belts, while the IBF title is held by Scull, a Cuban-born fighter based out of Berlin, Germany. On Mexican TV, the Canelo fight broadcast will air starting at 9 p.m. MT/10 p.m. CT on TV Azteca. The Canelo vs. Scull fight will be streamed on DAZN PPV.
