Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) acted aggressively during his debut press conference on his third fight with Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs). “He wants to end his career,” admitted Eddie Hearn, a promoter working with Canelo.

The grandiose trilogy of Alvarez and Golovkin is due to end on September 17 in Las Vegas. The first two fights took place in middleweight, this time the opponents will fight in the super middleweight category.

“A higher limit should suit Golovkin, who has been catching up with kilograms for years to middleweight. In the heavier division, he will be stronger and will hit even harder. In any case, when these two met with each other, Golovkin always looked bigger, ”said the British promoter.

“These gentlemen just don't like each other. Canelo thinks Golovkin said too much, some nasty things he shouldn't have said. They both have goals. Golovkin wants to win the fight in this trilogy, and Alvarez intends to end his career. And he doesn't even hide it," Hearn added.
