The rumor mill was working overtime last week when it came to Alvarez. Initial reports from The Ring (since deleted) said an “agreement is in place” for Alvarez to put his super middleweight title on the line against Terence Crawford. Not long after that, ESPN reported that Alvarez was “in the process of finalizing a deal” to face Jake Paul on May 3, and that, “Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, is suspending efforts to finalize contracts for an Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford…”

It didn’t take long for talk of the Paul fight to fall by the wayside as The Ring reported that Alvarez had inked a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season. The final piece of Alvarez news came down on February 8 when Alalshikh announced WBO, WBA, and WBC super middleweight champion Alvarez would face undefeated IBF champion Scull in May for the undisputed super middleweight title.

Alvarez had held the undisputed super middleweight crown, but the IBF stripped Alvarez of its belt in July 2024 after Alvarez failed to make a mandatory title defense against Scull. Scull (23-0 with nine knockouts) won the vacant title in October with a decision win over Vladimir Shishkin.

Alvarez (62-2-2 with 39 knockouts) is coming off a September decision win over Edgar Berlanga in defense of his WBA, WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles.

Bruno Surace (26-0-2 with five knockouts) is a 26-year-old out of France. He entered the conversation in December of last year when he scored an upset knockout win over Jaime Munguia in the sixth round of their first matchup. Munguia was a massive betting favorite in that fight at -3500, while Surace was the +900 underdog. Surace is an underdog in the rematch as well, but he is +500 this time to Munguia’s -950.

Surace’s win over Munguia earned ESPN’s boxing Upset of the Year honors.

Jaime Munguia (44-2 with 35 knockouts) was the No. 3 ranked boxer at 168 pounds according to ESPN when he stepped into the ring to face Surace in his home country of Mexico. Munguia’s only previous loss came in May 2024 when he dropped a unanimous decision to Canelo Alvarez. The plan was Munguia to get a win over Surace and then have him face Christian Mbilli. Surace upset that plan. Today, ESPN has the 28-year-old ranked at No. 10, one spot below Surace.
