Canelo vs Scull: Mexican superstar ready for time differences in Riyadh

DAZN
Garcia & Canelo PPV Bundle - $90; £34.99; €39.99

Canelo Alvarez does not believe the change in time and conditions offered by Saudi Arabia will derail his bout with William Scull this weekend, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View.

The WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight champion faces the IBF title holder in Riyadh as he looks to become the division's two-time undisputed king.

Canelo has primarily fought in his home country of Mexico and across the United States border in Las Vegas, but he heads into new territory as he stars in the Middle East.

Due to broadcast decisions, he will not fight until the early hours of the morning when there - but the star is comfortable he can adapt to the new conditions he faces.

"That's a factor," he told DAZN. "That's why I came three weeks before the first fight. The first day, I felt so tired. That's why I cam three weeks before.

"Because I knew it was going to be a factor - the timing, the weather. I knew it was going to be a factor, but now I feel like I'm in my place.

"I train at four in the morning. I'm a professional and I know how to work. I train my body for that. They say in 20 days, your body can adapt to anything, so I'm ready."
