Canelo Alvarez wants to get back in the win column in style with a KO victory over Gennady Golovkin on Saturday night.

GGG is set to move up to super-middleweight to challenge his bitter rival for his undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO world titles on September 17 in a trilogy bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Back in 2017, Golovkin and Canelo shared the ring for the first time in an extremely entertaining and competitive 12-round fight that ended in a disputed draw which many felt robbed the Kazakhstani fighter of a victory.

The following year, Canelo won a narrow majority decision in their rematch but GGG has always insisted that he won both fights and now he’ll get his chance at revenge.

Since then, Canelo has won 16 fights and become the undisputed king at 168lbs but last time out he suffered a shock defeat against WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.

Rather than face the Russian in an immediate rematch, the 32-year-old decided to press ahead with plans for a third fight with Golovkin who he is determined to knock out after 24 rounds of boxing.

“I’m really motivated to be here. Obviously, the [Bivol] defeat hurt but we are back on the path to greatness, and I’m really delighted to be,” Canelo said in Spanish at the pre-fight press conference.

“I feel like I work better under pressure and the pressure I’ve put on myself is to finish this inside the distance of 12 rounds. I know it’s going to be difficult but nothing in life is easy.

Canelo vs GGG 3 Preview

Four years after their rematch at this same arena, Gennady Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez are set to do battle for the third time this weekend.

The first two fights between the pair were quite simply magnificent. The first fight was deemed a draw, with the second going the way of the Mexican. If this trilogy is anything like the first 24 rounds Canelo and ‘GGG’ shared, boxing fans are in for one hell of a treat this Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Although the first fight was deemed a draw, the general consensus is that Golovkin most definitely won that night back in 2017 and defeated the pound-for-pound king. However, the three ringside judges didn’t see it that way, with the Kazakh being left frustrated and aggravated at the result.

The second fight was even closer, and it was a fight in which you could make a case for either man winning. Canelo was given the nod on the scorecards in a fight that was nip and tuck, ebb and flow and worthy of this trilogy four years later.

It is fair to say that the boxing community are favouring the unified super-middleweight champion to defend his belts here and potentially even knock out an aging Golovki

A bitter rivalry has been brewing between Canelo and Golovkin ever since their first fight in 2017, which ended in a split decision draw, but the general consensus from boxing fans and media alike was that ‘GGG’ had done enough to claim victory.

In the rematch, it was another closely fought battle, but this time Canelo came out on top, although once again Golovkin fans contested the result.

This time the Mexican is looking for a decisive win to put his saga with Golovkin to bed once and for all and he is clearly taking his preparations in the build-up to this fight incredibly seriously.

Canelo posted a video to Instagram on Monday, which shows him releasing a deluge of sweat from his sauna suit, alongside the caption, “Happy fight week.”

Rodriguez (16-0 11 KOs) has enjoyed a succesful first half of the year. He first has become the youngest active world champion in February, stepping in late to meet Carlos Cuadras for the vacant WBC strap in Phoenix, and then put on a dominant display in his first defense, stopping Thai star Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on his San Antonio home turf in June inside eight rounds.

Those performances saw the San Antonio talent named as ESPN’s Fighter of the Year in their midyear boxing awards, and while ‘Bam’ spoke of his pride at the honor, he’s determined to show that there is much more to come in his calendar.

The 22-year-old has lofty ambitions to unify divisions
