The final hurdle has been cleared as undisputed super middleweight champion Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez and his challenger, William Scull, both successfully made weight ahead of their highly anticipated clash tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The weigh-in ceremony, held earlier today, saw both fighters looking focused and in peak physical condition for their championship battle.
Canelo Álvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) stepped onto the scales at 167.1 lbs, comfortably under the super middleweight limit of 168 lbs. The Mexican superstar looked calm and composed, radiating the confidence of a seasoned champion defending his unified crowns. The crowd in attendance showed their fervent support for Canelo, eager to witness him in action once again.
William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) also met the required weight, registering 166.1 lbs. The undefeated Cuban challenger appeared determined and ready to seize the opportunity of a lifetime. He maintained a steely gaze during the face-off with Canelo, underscoring his belief that he can dethrone the reigning king of the division.
The successful weigh-in officially confirms that the main event for Saturday's card is set. The boxing world waits with bated breath to see if Canelo can further cement his legacy as the undisputed champion or if Scull can deliver a major upset and claim all four major super middleweight titles.
The atmosphere in Riyadh is electric, with anticipation building throughout the day. All eyes will be on the ring tonight as these two warriors collide for supremacy in the 168-pound division.
