After years of talk and hype and speculation, undefeated middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) and Canelo Álvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs), who will be fighting at 160 pounds for the first time in his career, are set to do battle this Saturday, September 16, from a sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Golovkin, who has defended his middleweight crown a staggering 18 times, just two shy of Bernard Hopkins’ record, comes into this fight off a win by unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs at Madison Square Garden in March, which was the first non-knockout win for GGG since 2008. Canelo is also entering this bout off a win by decision, his also coming in unanimous fashion over Julio César Chávez Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in May.

Golden Boy Promotions announced the fight for September 16 and we’re now ready for two of the hardest punchers in boxing to finally get after one another in this highly-anticipated matchup between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
