The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has scheduled a purse bid for a mandatory title fight between undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and challenger William Scull. The purse bid, requested by Scull's representatives, is set to take place on June 6th at 12 pm ET. The IBF has ordered this fight as a mandatory defense for Alvarez's WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles. However, reports suggest that Alvarez is considering vacating his IBF super-middleweight world title instead of defending it against Scull, although he would retain his WBA, WBC, and WBO titles.
