Canelo Vs. Scull Start Times Confirmed, Watch Live On DAZN!

Canelo Alvarez takes on Cuban William Scull on Saturday, May 3rd live on DAZN –  Mexico’s biggest boxing icon, is fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend, right? Classic. Tradition. Viva Mexico and all that. But where’s the fight? Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and guess what? Once again, the UK gets treated like the side chick — main event starts at 4AM Sunday morning.

Ringwalks – Start Times

  • 🇺🇸 USA (ET): Saturday, May 3 – 11:00 PM

  • 🇺🇸 USA (PT): Saturday, May 3 – 8:00 PM

  • 🇦🇺 Australia (AEST): Sunday, May 4 – 1:00 PM

That’s right, 4-f—ing-AM. What did UK fans do to deserve this? Every time there’s a big Saudi card, they are up looking like zombies while the Yanks kick back with beers and the Aussies smash meat pies in broad daylight.


 Watch it all LIVE on DAZN

If you’re planning to catch Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull (plus the full Fatal Fury: City of Wolves undercard), you’ll need to tune in via DAZN PPV, available globally.

If you’re not a DAZN member and fancy watching without PPV in the future, here’s what they’re offering:

  • Annual Super Saver – £119.99 upfront for the year (works out to £9.99/month)

  • Monthly Instalments – £14.99/month if you want to spread it out

Undercard? Carnage Incoming.

  • Jaime Munguia vs. Bruno Surace – Munguia’s not turning this into a chess match.

  • Martin Bakole vs. Efe Ajagba – Two fridge-freezers with gloves. Not pretty, but you’ll feel every thud through the telly. Expect war.

  •  Brayan Leon vs. Aaron Rocha Guerrero – Six wins, six KOs. Someone’s getting iced.

  • Marco Verde vs. Michel Galvan Polina – Verde debuting. Galvan’s record? Straight-up cannon fodder.

  •  Badou Jack vs. Ryan Rozicki – Jack’s still clinging on. Washed up and now more famous for posting antisemitic drivel on social media than anything he’s done in the ring the past five years. Shouldn’t even be on the card, let alone in a title fight.


Cinco de Mayo In Saudi Arabia

Canelo Alvarez, Mexico’s biggest boxing icon, defending his undisputed crown on Cinco de Mayo weekend… but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Not even in L.A. Nah—this one’s happening in  Riyadh.

The country doesn’t even celebrate it. You’re not getting mariachi bands, no tequila, no street parades—just oil money and LED billboards. It’s like throwing a St. Paddy’s Day rave in North Korea. Makes zero sense, but here we are.

And while Canelo’s got every right to chase the big paydays, let’s not pretend this doesn’t feel weird. Cinco de Mayo’s meant to be loud, rowdy, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we’re getting it in a hyper-lit mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.

What’s next? 4th of July in Iran?Joshua vs. Fury on Christmas Eve in a Tesco car park?

Boxing’s gone global, fine. But don’t lie—this ain’t Cinco de Mayo. It’s May 3rd in Riyadh dressed up in red, white and green with a few sombreros thrown around for the cameras.


The UK – Boxing’s Most Loyal, Most Screwed Fanbase

Let’s be honest—British boxing fans are the biggest mugs on the planet. Every big card outside the UK? They are the ones up in the middle of the night, surviving on beer, caffeine and regret.

Saudi shows? Brits up at 4AM. Vegas cards? 5AM. And they still tune in. Why? Because they are sick in the head and love this sport more than anything.

So, May 3rd Saturday night into Sunday morning, they will be there. Half-dead, pacing the living room, screaming at DAZN to stop buffering while Canelo makes mince out of some poor sod with an unbeaten record and no chance.

So here’s the drill:

4AM or not, Brits will suffer through it, every time. That’s what proper fight fans do. Sleep’s for casuals. This is boxing. This is war.

Let’s have it. See you at 4AM, you lunatics.
