Canelo Alvarez tells Gennady Golovkin during final pre-fight press conference that he plans to bounce back from Dmitry Bivol loss by knocking him out in ‘greatest fight in boxing today’

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.
