Erislandy Lara Vs. Yoenlin Hernandez could be added to Canelo Alvarez against William Scull Undercard on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This match between two former Cuban amateur talent would add the value of the growing crowd of the season in Riyadh, and could end up a more fun fight than the main event.

The WBA Champion in Lara Middle A category (31-3-3, 19 KO) would make her fourth defense against a belt he captured in 2021. Hernandez (7-0, 7 ko) would be by far the hardest test for a 41-year-old Lara if this struggle is created, because this guy is a big blow, fights at a high level and much younger at 27 years old.
Cuba conflict
“The second fight considering for May 3 in #caneloscul is a duel between Erislandy Lara and Yoenli Hernandez in the middle division. It would be a historic Cuba 🇨🇺 Vs Cuba 🇨🇺 for the WBA World Cup,” said Salvador Rodriguez on X.
South Aparas Lara had a slight path from winning the WBA 2021 belt. In his three defenses, he beat Gary O’Sullivan, Michael Zeraf and Danny Garcia. It’s not a killer, but it also reflects how weak the middleweight division is now.
Yenli Hernandez will take a big step in class if he struggles with Erislandy Lara. In a three -year professional Hernandez’s recent struggle, Angel Ruiz Astorga, Bryce Henry and Jose Sanchez Charles won. Everyone developed struggles for Hernandez and nowhere near Lara level.
Additional struggles are expected to be added to this growing card as weeks and months are progressing. It would not be surprising if this event ended as on February 2nd in Riyadh.
On the Canelo-SCull tab there is a rematch between the high-medium-sized candidate Jaime Munguia and Bruno Surace. The two fought last December, and Surace broke out Munguia in the sixth round in front of his hometown fans in Tijuana, Mexico. Munguia Vs. Surace is the confrontation of the season 3 of May in Riyadh.
