William Scull Yero (born 6 June 1992) is a Cuban-German professional boxer. He held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) super-middleweight title from 2024 to 2025.
Professional career
[edit]Scull turned professional in 2016 and won the first 22 fights of his career and by 2024, he was listed as the mandatory challenger for Canelo Alvarez's IBF's super-middleweight title.[1] However, Alvarez decided not to fight Scull and to relinquish the IBF belt instead. Scull was ordered to fight the #2 ranked contender Vladimir Shishkin for the IBF super-middleweight title.[2] The pair met at Stadthalle in Falkensee, Germany, on 19 October 2024 with Scull winning by unanimous decision.[3][4]
Scull finally faced Álvarez, who still held the WBA, WBC and WBO super-middleweight titles, at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 3 May 2025, losing via unanimous decision to suffer his first defeat as a professional.[5][6]
