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.

The undisputed super middleweight championship will be on the line as Canelo Alvarez returns to the ring against William Scull for his traditional Cinco de Mayo weekend bout, only this fight won't take place in the U.
