IBF tremendous middleweight champion William Scull revealed in the present day that he’s been approached by Canelo Alvarez’s crew for an undisputed championship combat at 168 in Could in Las Vegas.
If the combat in opposition to the Cuban Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) will get made, WBA, WBC, and WBO 168-lb champion Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) would have the chance to turn out to be a two-time undisputed champ.
Canelo Calling
This in all probability received’t make Terence Crawford completely happy as a result of he hoped to maneuver as much as 168 to problem Canelo for his unified titles.
