“when it is the fight of your life, no matter what. I have sacrificed 10 years outside my family for being someone in life. Today I am world Champion”Born in Matanzas, a humble town of Cubahe traveled to albiceleste lands to break through boxing and He found his place in the world in Argentina. And something else. A huge fanaticism by River Plateto the point of being with the institution’s clothing Millionaire repeatedly. Now, William Scull will seek to make history in the ANB Arena de Riad, from Saudi Arabiawhere it will be measured against the historical Saúl Canelo Álvarez For supermedian weight belts With, CMB, OMB y FIBthe latter with the islander as owner.
“Argentina is beautiful and I must tell you that I feel half Argentine, but … how the cold is suffered, especially in Patagonia! It is not the case now, I am much more comfortable, although as I learned to do roasted like the Argentines, I do not lose that custom, not at all. And I do them very well, huh? ”, Commented the Cuban a while ago, interviewed by ESPN. Scull arrived in Argentina in 2016 through a sports exchange with the Mendoza Box Federation. The ticket had a first leg and one back. Although he never addressed this last plane.
Despite starting his professional career with a victory over the Argentine Gastón Ávaloson November 11 of that year, in Mendozathe Cuban boxer had to earn his place based on an admirable resilience. Together with his coach and friend, Frankie Aldamthey had to perform different work not related to sport, such as Wash cars, sell vegetables and get ready in a square with a bag hanging on a tree to subsist.
And all effort has its prize. The indomitable He stepped on strong in the country’s quadrilaterals and began to awaken the enormous potential of his fists. As he exalted his personal records in Argentine lands, his heart also began to dye the albiceleste colors, accompanied by a red band. “I am Cuban, but I lived in Argentina five years ago and I made a fan of River Plate because I sympathized with the team. I have many friends from River and they support me a lot, “explained the pugilist in dialogue with DAZN. Even, The Cuban was repeatedly using cast clothing Millionairemainly with garments related to THE BORRACHOS OF THE plankthe barrabrava of the institution of Nat.
In addition, William had her son, Junior Williamin TrelewCity of Chubutsomething that strengthened its link with Argentina. The native of Cuba made a dent in national boxing and added more than ten wins in the country, something that allowed him to earn a contract with the German company Agon Sports, Berlin headquarters. The indomitable He swept his promotion and completed 11 victories -10 in Germany and one in Las Vegas -to place himself as one of the great contenders in world boxing.
Some of the most outstanding victories throughout his career were about Sebastián Papeschi In 2019, when he stayed with the South American title for technical knockout, and Sean Hemphill Last year, in confrontation that took place in the T-Mobile Arena from the United States. However, the peak of his career was consumed on October 24, 2024: he unanimously beat Russian Vladimir shishkin in FalkenseeGermany, and He stayed with the FIB supermedio world monarch belt.
Now, with his direct, technical and cold style, he will seek to keep his undefeated record of 0-23-0 (9 ko) against the legendary Canelo Álvarez. “Canelo is a reference, but today we are about to give a war. And the truth that My dream is to be the boxing’s face as is he now. I am not challenging it, but I would like to be what he is now. There are always options. You have to work nothing more. It depends on the night, that wins the best and the one that is best prepared. A unification of titles with Canelo is somewhat more historical for Cuban boxing. Win is up higher in Cuban boxing”, Said Scull.
The duel has all the corresponding condiments to mark a historic night in Riad. Not only for the four titles at stake (With, CMB, OMB by the Mexican and FIB of the Cuban), but it will also be Canelo’s first fight outside US lands or their native country. This is related to the contract he signed with the promoter Riyadh seasonheaded by Turki Alalshikh. To this is added that his last presentation was eight months ago, when he won on Edgar Berlanga and stretched his record at 62-2-2.
William Scull will seek to break all forecasts and try to hit the world boxing table, as he did between 2016 and 2019 in Patagonian lands. The Cuban will have the support of his entire country behind, who wants to see his flag at the top of the sport. Although the pugilist “half Argentine” will also have the thrust of the albicelestes and the River fans, the football club that conquered his heart.
