Canelo vs GGG 3 is scheduled to be held on the 17th of September at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, U.S. The last two fights between the pair took place in the same month of 2017 and 2018. The first fight was a draw, while Alvarez won the latest bout.

He is going into the fight week with a stunning record of 57-2-2. One of his losses came against Dimitry Bivol in the Mexican’s last fight in May this year. The other loss was handed to him by arguably the greatest boxer ever, Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Gennady Golvokin, popularly known as GGG, is the IBF, IBO, and WBA (super) middleweight champion of the world. Despite hitting the age of 40 earlier this year, GGG continues to be a formidable opponent as proven by his last fight when he beat Ryōta Murata to retain his titles. Golvokin’s career record is almost flawless except for his 2 fights against Canelo where he lost one and drew the other. However, due to how extremely close contested the bouts were, many in the boxing world are of the opinion that GGG should’ve given the decision in at least one of the fights.
