Cuban super middleweight William Scull (19-0) has been added to the AGON Sports show on Saturday (Nov 12) in Berlin.
Scull is the IBF mandatory challenger, a position he reached after beating Evgeny Shvedenko in July. He is promoted by AGON.
However, when IBF champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is ready to fight his mandatory challenger is an open question and it’s not likely that the IBF will push very hard for this fight to happen.
Scull will thus keep busy with an eight rounder and coming in on short notice is Argentinian veteran Abel Adriel (26-25-3).
IBF # 2 jr middleweight Jack Culcay (31-4) will, as previously reported by BoxingScene, also keep busy and meets Italian boxer Damiano Falcinelli (15-1).
Headlining the show is big heavyweight Granit Shala (12-0) and he squares off against Venezuelan Luis Garcia (9-3).
