In his fight against Jermell Charlo in September 2023, the former undisputed super middleweight champion made his way to the ring with Mexican artists Santa Fe Klan and Tornillo Vázquez by his side. The duo performed a stirring rendition of 'Por Mi México'.
Meanwhile, Scull, boasting an undefeated professional record of 23-0 with nine knockouts, enters the bout following a dominant unanimous decision win over Vladimir Shishkin in October, which earned him the vacant IBF super middleweight title.
