William Scull vs. Vladimir Shishkin – Boxing Betting Prediction
WILLIAM SCULL and Vladimir Shishkin will be facing off for the vacant IBF super-middleweight title in a highly anticipated match in Berlin this Saturday night. What sets this fight apart is the element of unpredictability.
Scull (6/5) has been patiently waiting on the sidelines, appearing on PBC undercards, hoping for a shot at Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, which seemed unlikely to happen. When Canelo eventually vacated the belt, Scull, with a record of 22-0 (9), needed a new opponent, and that’s where Russia’s Shishkin (4/6) comes in as a powerful fighter based in Florida.
Originally from Cuba, 32-year-old Scull is currently based in Germany, providing him with a home advantage. As a more agile fighter, Scull will need to utilize every advantage he can get. His most notable victory came against Evgeny Shvedenko, a Russian, in a 2022 eliminator for the same title. Shvedenko was also unbeaten, and Scull emerged victorious.
On the other hand, Shishkin, with a record of 16-0 (10), is known for his aggressive style of fighting, making him a formidable opponent for a swift mover like Scull. The 33-year-old has faced tougher competition, albeit some of them past their prime when he fought them. Shishkin is expected to put in the early work and capitalize on it later in the fight to put pressure on Scull and secure a win.
