Canelo Alvarez confronts Cuban William Scull on Saturday May 3 live on Dazn – the largest boxing icon in Mexico, fights the weekend of Cinco de Mayo, right? Classic. Tradition. Viva Mexico and all that. But where is the fight? Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and guess what? Again, the United Kingdom is treated like the side chick – the main event begins at 4 am on Sunday morning.
Ringwalks – Beginning hours
🇺🇸 USA (and): Saturday May 3 – 11 p.m.
🇺🇸 USA (pt): Saturday May 3 – 8 p.m.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom (BST): Sunday May 4 – 4:00
🇸🇦 SAUDI (KSA): Sunday May 4 – 6:00
🇦🇺 Australia (Aest): Sunday May 4 – 1 p.m.
That’s right, 4-F-AM. What have British fans did to deserve this? Whenever there is a big Saudi card, they look like zombies while the Yanks turn with beers and the Australians crush the meat pies in broad daylight.

Undercard? Incoming carnage.
Jaime Munguia against Bruno Surace – Munguia does not transform this into a chess match.
Martin Bakole against Efe Ajagba – Two refrigerator freezes with gloves. Not pretty, but you will feel each deaf noise across the TV. Expect war.
Brayan Leon against Aaron Rocha Guerrero – Six victories, six Kos. Someone is frozen.
Marco Verde against Michel Galvan Polina – Verde made his debut. Galvan’s record? Straight barrel fodder.
Badou Jack against Ryan Rozicki – Jack still hangs on. Washed Up and now more famous for having published an anti -Semitic Radallitis on Social Networks than everything he has done in the Ring in the past five years. Should not even be on the map, even less in a fight for the title.
Cinco de Mayo in Saudi Arabia
Canelo Alvarez, the largest boxing icon in Mexico, defending his undisputed crown on the weekend of Cinco de Mayo … but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Not even at NAH – what’s going on in Riyadh.
The country does not even famous it. You do not get mariachis groups, no tequila, no street parades – just oil money and display panels. It’s like launching a rave from Saint-Paddy in North Korea. Makes no sense, but we are there.
And although Canelo has the right to continue the big wages, let’s not pretend that it does not feel weird. Cinco de Mayo is supposed to be noisy, rowdy, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we get it in a hyper-broken mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.
What is the next step? July 4 in Iran? Joshua against Fury the day before Christmas in a Tesco parking lot?
Boxing has become global, very good. But don’t lie – it’s not Cinco de Mayo. It is May 3 in Riyadh disguised in red, white and green with a few sombreos thrown for the cameras.
The United Kingdom – the most faithful fans of the most screwed boxing
Let’s be honest – British boxing fans are the largest cups on the planet. Each large card outside the United Kingdom? They are in the middle of the night, surviving beer, caffeine and regret.
Saudi shows? British at 4 a.m. Vegas cards? 5 am. And they always connect. For what? Because they are sick in their heads and love this sport more than anything.
Thus, on May 3 Saturday evening to Sunday morning, they will be there. Half dead, walking the show, shouting in Dazn to stop the buffer memory while Canelo has a poor lawn chopped with an undefeated record and no chance.
Here is the exercise:
4 am or not, the British will suffer from it each time. This is what the appropriate combat fans do. Sleep for occasional. It’s boxing. It’s war.
Let’s go. Meet at 4 a.m., Lunatics.
