The King of Mexican boxing is back—Canelo Alvarez returns tonight for a supposed Cinco de Mayo celebration clash. But it’s not happening in Vegas. Not Guadalajara. Not even L.A. Nope. It’s going down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where they wouldn’t know Cinco de Mayo from Pancake Tuesday.

Alvarez faces undefeated Cuban contender William Scull in a 168-pound title defence. The undercard is stacked with heavy hitters, but let’s be honest—this is the Canelo show.

So yeah, 4AM again. British fans, yet again, left to fumble in the dark while the Yanks relax with wings and the Aussies cheer in the sunshine. The disrespect is routine—but we show up every time.
Canelo: Champion of the Ring (and the Paycheque)
Let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t about heritage or national pride. It’s about big Saudi oil money. You can call it Cinco de Mayo if you like, but without mariachi, tequila, or a sniff of Mexican atmosphere, it’s really just May 3rd in the desert with LED screens and air conditioning.
That said, Canelo’s still the face of boxing. And make no mistake—he’s expected to deliver a punishing performance. Scull, unbeaten and confident, is in deep. Canelo will test his chin, ribs, and resolve.
Undercard: Get Ready for Carnage
-
Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Surace – Expect violence. Munguia doesn’t box. He bombs.
-
Martin Bakole vs. Efe Ajagba – Two brick walls trading cement blocks. Ugly and unmissable.
-
Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Rocha Guerrero – 6 fights, 6 KOs. Someone’s going down cold.
-
Marco Verde vs. Michel Galvan – Verde debuts. Galvan’s the test dummy.
-
Badou Jack vs. Noel Mikaelian – Jack’s clinging to relevance. Mikaelian wants his belt back.
