It can’t be Cinco De Mayo in the Western hemisphere without a Canelo Alvarez fight. The 2025 edition of the yearly tradition will see the Mexican superstar look to again unify the super middleweight belts against an unbeaten champion.

High Risk, Solid Reward: William Scull is another little-known name to casual fight fans. However, this bout isn’t a complete high-risk, low-reward clash. Scull won the IBF super-middleweight title in October. Beating the Cuban will again make Alvarez the undisputed king of middleweight. That is some helpful added motivation for the Mexican.

Could Alvarez Overlook Scull? It will be hard for Alvarez not to overlook Scull. He isn’t a big name and has a historic clash with Crawford set up for the fall. However, a loss would severely damage his value after signing a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh. Avoiding embarrassment will be a good motivator for Alvarez.

The Bottom Line: Alvarez vs. Scull is a solid appetizer for fight fans until the main course comes in September. And for his most loyal fans, he continues his yearly Cinco de Mayo tradition.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has had a legendary 65-fight career, but what makes it all the more impressive is he is only 32, and it could be argued that he is still in his athletic prime. During a professional career that dates back to 2005, Alvarez has beaten many of the elites of two different eras and has become the most famous fighter of his era.

Let’s take a look at some of the key accolades from “Canelo’s” amazing career.

  • Canelo Alvarez record: 62-2-2 (39 knockouts)
  • Alvarez began his career by going unbeaten for eight years. It took unbeaten boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr. — when Alvarez was only 23 — to finally hand him his first loss.
  • Only two fighters during Alvarez’s storied career have defeated him. The legendary Mayweather and massive light heavyweight Bivol.
  • During his career “Canelo” has scored wins over boxing greats and former champions like Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, Amir Khan, Shane Mosley, Daniel Jacobs, Jaime Munguia, and Sergey Kovalev.
  • Alvarez has an absurd amount of professional fights at just 32, and part of the reason is that he started his pro career in Mexico at 15 years old.
  • Along with being a champion at super-middleweight, Alvarez has earned titles at middleweight, light-middleweight/super-welterweight, and light-heavyweight.
  • Alvarez follows a long line of legendary Mexican boxers, but he reigns supreme above them all when it comes to successful pay-per-events. His 2017 bout with Mayweather was the third highest-selling boxing card in history with 2.2 million PPV buys.

Canelo Alvarez net worth
