Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will face Terence Crawford in a Las Vegas super-fight in September after outpointing William Scull to regain the undisputed super-middleweight title.
Scull danced around for 12 rounds and frustrated Alvarez with potshots, as the Mexican superstar struggled to cut off the ring in a dull contest in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ultimately, Alvarez's power punches to the body won him the bout with scores of 115-113, 116-112 and 119-109.
"It was a boring fight. A fighter not trying to win and just trying to survive. I hate those kind of fighters," Alvarez, 34, said.
Crawford entered the ring post-fight and two of the sport's biggest names posed for a face-off.
They will meet at the 65,000-seater Allegiant Stadium on 12 September.
Crawford, 37, is a four-division and two-weight undisputed champion but will be moving up from light-middleweight.
"Everything happens for a reason and there's a reason why I'm here. In September I'll show the world what greatness looks like," he said.
