Canelo Alvarez's Next Fight: Who Will Canelo Face After Beating William Scull?

Canelo Alvarez defeated William Scull via unanimous decision in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 3rd.

The fight was forgettable, with Scull spending much of the match dancing around the ring avoiding Canelo. In fact, it broke a 40-year record for the fewest punches thrown since CompuBox began tracking the data back in 1985. And while Alvarez came out victorious, he'll look to silence the naysayers in his next fight later this year.

Canelo's Next Fight

Canelo's next fight will be against Terence Crawford on September 13th. Crawford is a two-time undisputed champion in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions. He last fought Israil Madrimov, winning by unanimous decision on August 3rd.
