Gennady Golovkin (57-1-2, 39 KOs) doesn't believe stories Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) about the reasons for the sudden change in the decision of the Mexican regarding the third fight. Canelo claimed for a long time that he was not interested in a trilogy with GGG, but recently changed his mind and stated that this is a “personal” matter for him.
“I heard from several journalists that Canelo wants to meet with me again, and supposedly now this is his own business. If this is really so personal, then why did he wait four years after the last fight? He says it just like that, ”says the IBF middleweight champion.
Golovkin will meet with Ryota Murata in Japanese Saitama. Alvarez will enter the ring with Dimitri Bivol on May 7 in Las Vegas. If both win, they can cross their gloves for the third time in the fall. Both GGG and Canelo's previous fights were very close fights. In the first, the judges counted a draw, and in the second, the victory of the Mexican.
