Golovkin and Alvarez had two fierce duels - the first ended in a draw, although the majority of analytics considered that the boxer from Kazakhstan deserved the victory more, and the Mexican won the second meeting.
Gennady Golovkin will return to the ring on December 29 with Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) for the WBA and IBF belts. Saul Alvarez plans to return no earlier than May.
