William Scull and Vladimir Shishkin will contest the vacant IBF super-middleweight title on October 19 at the Town Hall in Falkensee, near Berlin, Germany. The title became vacant when Saul “Canelo” Alvarez relinquished it to fight Edgar Berlanga instead of honor a mandatory defence against the very capable but little-known Scull (22-0), 32 years old and who hails from Cuba.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

Sometimes, especially when it comes to social media, it is best not to say anything at all. If, for example, someone dies, famous or otherwise, there is really no need for JoeBloggs649264883 to comment publicly or express what the deceased meant to them. Similarly, if a big news story appears to be trending, there is no need for JoeBloggs649264883 to offer his opinion on said story in the hope his opinion – and therefore JoeBloggs649264883 – will be seen.

Believe him or not, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez maintains that his career vision is more of an event-by-event analysis rather than a grand plan extending years into the future. Despite the angst that may cause others, the sport’s most popular fighter has relied on his own reasons this year to wait out the possible future tasks of meeting unbeaten light heavyweights David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol, and to instead turn toward a pair of 27-year-old super middleweight contenders whose combined knockout rate is just under 75 percent.
