Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin will face off for a third time on September 17, 2022. With the series at 1-0-1 in favor of Canelo, Golovkin is ready to prove he can take down the 31-year-old superstar. On the line will be Canelo’s WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super-middleweight titles. The fight will take place inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In Canelo’s last fight he lost to Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light-heavyweight title.
After two years away from the ring, Golovkin fought Ryota Murata in April. Golovkin won via TKO in the ninth round to win the WBA (Super) middleweight title.
Canelo and Golovkin first fought in 2017. The bout ended in a controversial split decision draw. They competed in a rematch in '18, which was delayed by a few months after Alvarez tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol. Canelo won via majority decision.
