Canelo Alvarez will take on Cuban William Scull on Saturday 3 May Live on dazn. Mexico’s biggest boxing icon is fighting on the Cinco de Mayo weekend, right? Classic. Tradition. Viva Mexico and all this. But where is the battle? Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and guess what? Once again, the UK is treated like the Side Chick – the main event starts at 4am on Sunday morning.

May 5 in Saudi Arabia
Canelo Alvarez, Mexico’s largest boxing icon, defends its undisputed crown on the Cinco de Mayo weekend … but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Not even in La Nah – it happens in Riyadh.
The country doesn’t even celebrate it. You do not get Mariachi orchestras, no tequila, no street parades -just oil money and LED ad boards. It’s like a St. Paddy’s Day Rave in North Korea. Makes zero sense, but here we are.
And although Canelo has the right to chase the big pay days, we don’t pretend to feel not strange. Cinco de Mayo is meant to be hard, clumsy, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we get it in a hyper-lightened mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.
What’s next? July 4 in Iran? Joshua against Fury on Christmas Eve in a Tesco parking lot?
Boxing’s Gone Global, Fine. But don’t lie – it’s not Cinco de Mayo. It was dressed in Riyadh in red, white and green in May 3 with a few sombreros thrown around for the cameras.
The UK – box’s most loyal, most written fanbase
Let’s be honest – British box fans are the biggest cups on the planet. Every major card outside the UK? It is those in the middle of the night, which survived on beer, caffeine and regret.
Saudi shows? Brits at 4am. Vegas cards? 05:00. And they still agree. Why? Because they are sick in the head and love this sport.
So, May 3, Saturday night to Sunday morning, they will be there. Half dead, walk the living room, screaming to Dazn to buffer while Canelo Mina makes out of a poor sod with an unbeaten record and no chance.
So here’s the drill:
04:00 or not, British will suffer every time. This is what proper struggles do. Sleep is for comfort. It’s box. It’s war.
Let’s have it. See you at 4am, your mocker.
