Turki Alalshikh, head of Riyadh Season and the General Entertainment Authority, announced on social media that an undisputed showdown was finalized between Ring, WBO, WBA, WBC super middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and undefeated IBF champion world champion William Scull.

Their fight will take place in the morning on May 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - which due to the time difference will allow the audiences in the United States and Mexico to enjoy the fight on Saturday night, May 3.

This past Thursday, Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) signed a very lucrative four fight deal with Riyadh Season.

Should Canelo prevail with Scull, his upcoming clash with fellow four division world champion Terence Crawford will have the undisputed super middleweight crown at stake. That fight is slated to headline a Riyadh Season mega-event on September 13 in Las Vegas - with Allegiant Stadium as the target venue.

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), The Ring’s No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter and No. 1 junior middleweight, would move up two weight divisions for a dream fight and a shot at becoming a four division Ring champion and a three time undisputed champion - after claiming undisputed at junior welterweight and welterweight.

Scull had recently advised The Ring that he was already preparing for the possibility of being called up for a fight with Canelo.

“I am preparing for May 3,” Scull told The Ring. “I am the other world champion at 168 pounds. There is no other opponent than William Scull.”

Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) is The Ring’s No. 5 super middleweight contender.

Canelo was the undisputed super middleweight king until he was forced to relinquish his IBF title when the sanctioning body tried to force a mandatory title defense against Scull, a Cuban export based in Germany.

The IBF belt was then claimed by Scull in a twelve-round, unanimous decision win over Vladimir Shishkin (16-1, 10 KOs) last Oct. 19 in Falkansee, Germany.
