It seems that the two contests were not enough to settle the heated rivalry between the biggest names of this generation, Canelo Alvarez, and Gennady Golovkin. After producing two spectacular showdowns, the pair have decided to carry on the series of their bouts, which is still in favor of undisputed super-middleweight Canelo Alvarez with a record of 1-0-1.
However, Golovkin did not believe in the listed numbers. Since he lost to Canelo in 2018 in a highly anticipated rematch (which he thinks he won) he has been repeatedly asking for a third bout. Canelo, who is coming out of an upset loss against the Russian light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, has agreed to square off with GGG.
