The upcoming Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin bout is one of the most exciting trilogy showdowns in the sport. And, it seems like regular boxing fans aren’t the only ones excited about the matchup.

In the post-fight interview, he had a rather intriguing request for Dana White. Nascimento said, “I wanna say something. I’m a big fan of Canelo and GGG. Aye Dana, Meek, Sean, you, I really really want to go there. Give me two tickets, please. Canelo fight.”
