So, there’s this boxer, William Scull. You probably haven’t heard much about him — which, honestly, is kinda the point. He’s fighting Canelo Alvarez soon (May 3rd, mark your calendars, or not), and everyone’s like, “Yeah, he’s totally gonna lose.” Even the odds are in on it. But Scull? He’s chill with being the underdog; kinda thrives on it, actually. It’s like when you’re the last one picked for dodgeball, but then you end up being the MVP. Seriously.
Scull’s got this record — 23 wins, no losses, and 9 knockouts. Sounds solid, right? But people still overlook him, maybe ’cause he’s never fought any big names. But he says he’s ready. I mean, he really believes it. “I’m ready for Canelo,” he told Queensberry. I don’t know about you, but I’m intrigued. Can he pull it off?
Here’s the deal, though. Scull’s gotta level up big time. Canelo is a fan favorite, raking in the big bucks, especially with this Saudi Arabia spectacle. Judges might not be on Scull’s side. They’ve got dollar signs in their eyes for a future Canelo-Crawford face-off. Scull? He’s the wildcard messing with those plans. Could be epic or… yeah, we’ll see.
And hey, Scull’s into proving doubters wrong. He kind of gets a kick out of it. “It’s great when no one’s expecting much, and then bam, surprise!” he laughs. He’s got that undying belief in himself — thinks this fight will change things. Maybe it will? Maybe it won’t. Who’s to say? But one thing’s for sure: he’s gearing up for what could be the biggest fight of his life.
He’s got critics, especially after that fight with Vladimir Shishkin where folks say Shishkin got robbed. But Scull’s just like, whatever, I’m here, and I’m fighting Canelo for a reason. His head’s in the game, future-focused. Wants to make his family proud, leave a legacy. It’s like he’s writing his own superhero origin story and doesn’t care if no one’s reading yet.
At the end of the day, he’s just looking to do his thing in the ring. And maybe, just maybe, make the world take notice. Or, y’know, not. But you gotta admire the guts.
