Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) can settle scores with Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) on September 17, although he himself is convinced that there is no need to equalize the scores, because he ...
Officially, the score of their meetings is 0-1-1. In the first fight, the judges counted a draw, in the second, the Mexican won with a minimal advantage. The vast majority of boxing experts agree that the boxer from Kazakhstan is right that at least the first fight should be in his favor.
Canelo is in talks for two fights on the DAZN platform for $85 million. On May 7, he can meet Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs), WBA light heavyweight champion, and on September 17, he will complete the trilogy with Golovkin, this time in the super middleweight category. Both Canelo and Bivol are certainly interested in such a scenario. GGG himself continues to hesitate about the third fight.
“I won both fights with Alvarez, but some people feel comfortable in their delusions and are happy to deceive themselves. There are others who got past this without a problem, got away with this scam, and I thought, "Does this really work"? These two fights have slightly changed my outlook on different things and on this sport. In the end, these were the two biggest fights at that time, ”said Golovkin, still disagreeing with the judges’ verdicts, who is yet to unify the IBF and WBA belts with Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) in April.

“I go step by step forward, and yet I do not look too far into the future. But, of course, a third fight with Canelo would be an interesting decision and challenge. We both know each other very well, which makes the third match perhaps even more interesting. I already have plans for what to do after the end of my career, but for now I feel very good and I'm not going to finish it, ”added Golovkin.
