One of the biggest rivalries in boxing at the moment is between middleweights Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

At one point, Golovkin was the undefeated king of boxing’s middleweight division. A highly-anticipated fight between Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez was rumored for quite some time. Finally, the pair squared off in a big Las Vegas event in September of 2017. Many believe that Golovkin dominated the fight after 12 rounds of boxing. However, judges turned in a controversial Majority Draw decision.

A year later, the rematch took place from the T-Mobile Arena yet again. This time, the fight was much more competitive. But most fans and experts still had Golovkin winning on their scorecards. Despite this, Alvarez was awarded the Majority Decision victory. The Mexican star, arguably boxing’s biggest attraction at the moment, currently reigns as the WBA, WBC, and lineal middleweight champion.

Not to mention a WBO light middleweight title win over Rocky Fielding this past December. Recently, Golden Boy Promotions’ Oscar De La Hoya spoke to Boxing Scene about a possible trilogy bout between Alvarez and Golovkin. De La Hoya is confident the fight will happen at some point. Not only is he confident the fight will get done, but he’s confident Alvarez will be the first man to knock out Golovkin inside the ring:

“There’s no doubt whatsoever,” De La Hoya said. “Canelo wants to fight the very best, and I can assure you that, third time around, Canelo will knock him out.”

Before that can happen, Alvarez has a date with IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs. The two will unify their middleweight titles on May 4th in Las Vegas. While speaking to the DAZN streaming service, De La Hoya broke down how negotiations for the fight went:

“[It was the] last second, the 11th hour,” said De La Hoya. “I was one night tweeting and said to myself, ‘how am I going to make this happen?’.

“I sent out a tweet that said we were going to talk to GGG and make the third fight happen and Jacobs’ promoter, Matchroom Boxing, called [Golden Boy president] Eric Gomez the next day and said you have a fight with Jacobs.

“My plan worked – now we have one of the best middleweights fights in recent years.”

Ever since Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury threw down in a wild, back-and-forth draw in early December, talk of a rematch has been swirling the boxing world.

Of course, unified WBA, IBF and WBO champion Anthony Joshua will always be in that mix. But Wilder’s promoter Frank Warren isn’t worried about that particular British superstar. He recently told iFL TV he’s focused on the Wilder rematch, and for good reason:

“I couldn’t give a monkey’s who he fights because we’re in the Tyson Fury business. What we’re trying to do is get an ordered rematch over the line with him and Deontay Wilder.”

There’s a deadline fast approaching for Wilder and Fury’s rematch to be booked, however. The WBC has scheduled a purse bout for February 5. If it reaches that point, technically any promoter could arrive and secure the rights to host the fight.

Warren is confident that won’t be the case. He’s hoping to have the rematch booked by next week:

“Hopefully we won’t get to that position. I think we’re all mature and have been around long enough to be able to pull a deal together between both camps.

“We’re in discussions at the moment and hopefully we’ll have that sorted out by the end of next week.”

Hopefully that is the case for boxing fans all over the world. Fury was a bit incensed with the result of the first fight considering most thought he dominated much of the action. He called for the rematch to be on his native UK soil. But Warren doesn’t believe that will happen because of pay-per-view concerns:

“I very much doubt it’ll happen in the UK. The big money is in the States as far as the American pay-per-view is concerned. That looks to be the favorite.”
