DAZN has picked up the global broadcast rights for the vacant IBF super middleweight title fight between William Scull and Vladimir Shishkin, covering the US, UK, and Latin America.
The action takes place tomorrow at Stadthalle in Falkensee, just outside of Berlin, and starts on DAZN at 3pm ET/Noon PT.
Scull (22-0, 9 KOs), an undefeated Cuban-born fighter, trains in Germany, and has been waiting for this IBF title shot for more than two years since beating Evgeny Shvedenko in a No. 1 contender fight back in July 2022.
He’s fought three times since, with his latest bout an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Sean Hemphill as a part of the non-televised portion of the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Jaime Munguia pay-per-view at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With Alvarez vacating the title, the fight is for the vacant belt.
Shishkin (16-0, 10 KOs) is the No. 2 contender according to the IBF and is promoted by Salita Promotions. He last stepped into the ring in March, stopping Mike Guy. A former ShoBox: The Next Generation alum, Shishkin has notable wins over former titleholder Jose Uzcategui and Sena Agbeko.
