Teams of Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) and Saul Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) agreed on terms for the rematch on May 5th, which again will be held in PPV broadcast on HBO. The duel falls on the big Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo. At stake are WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO titles and the champion belt of the Ring magazine in the middleweight division.
The first meeting of Golovkin and Canelo, which took place last September, was controversially judged as a draw. This fight set a record of visiting boxing events at indoor venues in Las Vegas. Tickets for their first fight at the T-Mobile arena were sold out in two weeks.
