As the negotiations of William Skulla in negotiations on the landing of Canelo Alvarez gave a change in the life of the payment day of payment.

There he reached a point when William Skull decided to focus only on what he could control.

The invincible Cuban is tired of the opposite and detachment in whether he will land the long-awaited, and mandatory, at some point, the shooting in the Kanelo Saul Alvarez. Last summer, he had already passed the tedious round of negotiations as the main contender of IBF, only to find out that he would fight for an empty stand -weight title, and not for an indisputable championship.

History threatened to repeat himself earlier this year, after which the ruling owner of the IBF title was ready to wash his hands on this issue altogether.

“Since Canelo had previously freed the title and did not want to fight me, I was no longer sure,” said Skull Uncrond. “All there, it began when I was mandatory, and Canelo still had the IBF title, because at that time there were already first conversations between our teams.

“There were different news every week. At some point, I was not even worried about it. ”

This mentality ultimately paid off for Scull (23-0, 9 KOS), whose team, including Promoter Agon Sports, perfectly played the hand with which it was handed over.

The plan for unforeseen circumstances was in place if Alvarez (62-2-2-2, 39 KOS), No. 7 in the list of men’s pound for the Uncronded pound, chose another enemy this weekend. This was not necessary, since the Mexican icon and its sponsors, namely the Turks of the Alales and the team, standing over the season of Er -ryad, opened the storage to ensure an indisputable collision of the championship.

Alvarez and Scull will meet for all four large-weight titles in the middle weight and the Ring championship on DAZN Pay, viewing on Saturday, starting at 7 p.m. East time from Anb Arena to Riyada, Saudi Arabia.

This is a dream for Scull, although he could hardly understand when he first fled from Cuba. At that time, the Frankiz Aldam, his boxing coach, who remains the main voice in his corner, joined him when they headed for Argentina, where Skull became a professional in 2016.

Ten of the first 12 professional battles of Skullah took place in Argentina before two constantly moved to Berlin. This remains his home, as he spent the past seven years under the leadership of Agon Sports Banner Promoter Ingo Volckmann.

“I knew that we needed a great increase in the service to take the next step in the international arena,” said Skull, which could boast of about 300 amateur battles, although he did not get as much fame as his other gifted compatriots. “Agon Sports has become a new advertisement from Germany, which had great ambitions and was well located.

“As you can see, we grew up with the promotion, and this turned out to be the right step.”

The Union led to the first title translation of Scull, and now a shot to become an indisputable champion, and with a change in life, salary for this event. But years of obscurity are almost worth the opportunity, as in the case when Alvarez conveyed a chance to meet him last fall.

“I made my career in countries where it is difficult to gain popularity as a foreigner in boxing,” Skull admitted. “I think that my popularity was too small, and therefore I was not interesting enough for Canelo when I had a mandatory status.

“The victory of the IBF title has changed this, and now I’m in the world arena, and I am very grateful for that.”

Nevertheless, there was a period when Alvarez and Alales were ready to move in a different direction. Agon Sports kept for as much money as it seemed that for Alvarez, it would be possible to become a two -time completely united king in the middle weight.

This status is crucial, as it is expected that the victory will lead to the September superbate between the Alvarez and the four divisions Terens “Bada” Crawford (41-0, 31 knockout), male boxer No. 2 in the 2nd pound. The main point of sale in this battle is the desire of CRAWFORD to become an indisputable champion in three scales, already doing this in welterweight and welterweight.

This gave Skulla the necessary lever that he did not wear as the main rival of IBF last fall.

Alvarez was involved in two mandatory protective protection, from which you can choose after his unanimous victory in 12 rounds over compatriot Haima Munguy. One was scull; Another was the applicant No. 1 No. 1 of Edgar Berlang, invincible at that time and a much more recognizable name.

The fact that Scull appeared on Undercard Alvarez-Munguia award over Son Hemfill in eight rounds in an undesirable fight, due to its number, that its number will be caused.

Alvarez-Berlanga, however, was a much more attractive match for Premier Champions, which presented their championship using Prime Prime Pay, Viewing last September in Las Vegas.

Alvarezu was worth his undeniable status of the championship, which he kept after the victory in November 2021 over the Kaleb plant, as he was supposed to abandon the IBF belt. Skull was able to fight for the empty name against Vladimir Shishkin, an invincible applicant at that time.

However, the payment for the first title opportunity Scull was part of what he would do if Alvarez honored the IBF order. The plus was that his team received a home event on this occasion in October last year. Agon Sports controlled the rights to fight and arranged it in Falkanei, Germany, less than an hour from Berlin.

After 12 rave rounds, Skull announced a unanimous decision and a belt. The fact that he did not receive that night was a new fan; In any case, the 32-year-old age with a large number of deteriorations than critics was left a boring business and a controversial result.

In the end, this did not matter as soon as Alvarez returned to hunting for the enemy.

At some point, Alvarez was ready to encounter influential influence on social networks and Jake Paul Beginning in weight. However, he used a new fight as a lever to increase his requested price during negotiations with the season of Alalshikha and Er -ryad.

It worked. Once the discussed transaction from the three fights of Alvarez became a profitable pact with four battles. Instead of meeting with Paul in Las Vegas, Alvarez agreed to catch the show in er -rayda.

Scull was clearly not in the publicly leaked list of potential enemies. It was an attempt from the seasonal group of Riyadh to force the boxer and his team to remove his hefty demand for a wallet with seven-digit ones.

Agon received a backup plan – voluntary protection of the title in Germany – in case his negotiations did not pay off.

But it did.

“I always tried to be ready for a possible fight against Canelo,” said Skull. “My promoter Ingmann took care of the rest, who then just told me:“ Now the time has come. ”

Nevertheless, there is a big difference between accommodation in the gym and the readiness for what will probably serve as the biggest opportunity in his career.

Not only did Skull and his team game be for the legendary fighter at the glory level in Alvarez, but also the unique time of the beginning for the event this weekend. The headliner of the Er-Riyad season will be aired with the early Sunday morning time to match the prime time in the USA to maximize the audience.

This meant a serious shift in learning habits for Scull. The night and early morning sessions became the norm, while Skull barely touched his mobile phone over the past three months.

“We took this training much more seriously than against Shishkin,” said Skull. “For example, we held a training camp at a height in Sierra Nevada in Granade, Spain. We also attracted the best sports coaches, physiotherapists and doctors from Argentina and Spain to help us prepare. We doubled the number of sparring partners, and the level of sparring partners was much higher than before.

“We train each session before the sun rises, and the whole team also adapted to the rhythm, for which I am very grateful. Everyone in the team (came) for each session, regardless of how much time. Our promoter, Ingo Vukmann, our media -team, sponsors or individuals and doctors. Blagling that my team reached the way they were significantly impressed by, that I was largely impressed. ”

The one -brow is not so convincing. Alvarez remains a favorite at the Healthy rates -3000 on Betmgm Sportsbook.

Simply put, the SCULL victory is easily evaluated as a leading applicant for a year – if not a running favorite – for a disorder of the year.

Nevertheless, as long as the persecution was supposed to accept this struggle – after the uncertainty of whether it would be to be carried out when it would be carried out – Skull will not have it otherwise.

“In addition to the birth of my two children, having won the title of peace against Shishkin, of course, was the greatest moment in my life,” he said. “The victory of May 3, of course, will achieve this, because it is the best feeling to make a story for your people and your family.”
