Canelo's first fight with Golovkin ended in a draw, although many then felt that the boxer from Kazakhstan performed better. In the second fight, the Mexican became the winner. In recent performances, Alvarez lost on points to Dmitry Bivol, and GGG won ahead of schedule against Ryota Murata, unifying the WBA and IBF middleweight belts.
The exact meeting place has not yet been announced, but most likely the fight will take place in the United States. The first two fights of the boxers took place in the same location - at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
