September 17 at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (USA), star antagonists Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) from Mexico and Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) from Kazakhstan will hold the third face-to-face fight.

Earlier, Golovkin said: “I’m glad that Canelo did not wait until I hit fifty dollars.” And the ex-champion from Britain “would like to see the victory of the veteran, but …”.
