The biggest fight in boxing is back!

This Saturday, undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez puts his titles on the line against Gennady Golovkin in their long-awaited trilogy bout, and MMA Fighting’s José Youngs and Jed Meshew are here to get you ready for it.

So in preparation for the trilogy, José and Jed break down what happened in the first two fights, discuss the different circumstances heading into this third fight, and predict wh

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
