Canelo Alvarez may have lost last month’s bout to Dmitry Bivol, but he remains one of the most popular and formidable fighters in the business. It’s easy to forget that Canelo was fighting above his natural weight when he fought Bivol for a light heavyweight title, after all. Dare to be great means that you sometimes have to deal with the short-term memories of others. No problem. The red-haired star continued to plug her head. In fact, his next match will end on September 17. Opposing side, opposing side, opposing side? Arch’s rival, Gennady Golovkin.
Streaming service DAZN will broadcast the battle as a pay-per-view event. In the meantime, the fighters and their camp members will participate in a coast-to-coast press tour. Through a press release: “To kick off a trilogy battle between two modern greats DAZN, Matchroom Boxing by Eddie Hearn, Canelo Promotion and GGG Promotions are delighted to invite the media to attend the press conference in Los Angeles and New York to officially launch season three of this intense rivalry – and the pair will resume their hostilities four years after their last meeting in what promises to be a night of spectaculars and battles. of the candidate of the year. “
The first press conference is scheduled for June 24 in Los Angeles while the second press conference will take place three days later, June 27, in New York. Although Golovkin isn’t fighting as much as he used to be – and is also getting old – this fight is sure to be in full swing. Indeed, Canelo’s loss to the extremely talented Bivol may have led to more interest in a third Golovkin fight. At least, Canelo now appears to be human. On top of that, there’s been real bad blood over the years between two future Halls of Fame. They simply don’t like each other.
Finally, there is an air of unfinished business about Canelo and Golovkin. Their first fight, which took place in 2017, was a classic, although the referees ruled the match a draw while many, if not most, believed Golovkin had Do enough to win. The much-anticipated rematch, to take place next year, ended in Canelo’s favor, although there were certainly those who felt Golovkin should have won it too. In short, neither man best concludes the other. The third match could be a breath of fresh air, though to be fair, the judges really loved Canelo.
