Seemingly out of nowhere, Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin have reportedly agreed to a trilogy fight.
That’s according to The Athletic who state that the pair have verbally agreed on financial terms to stage their trilogy bout in September. The hope is for it to take place September 12 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. In addition, Alvarez also negotiated with promoter Golden Boy for enhanced (and undisclosed) compensation for the Golovkin trilogy.
The Mexican was initially expected to face Billy Joe Saunders on May 2 in a super middleweight title unification bout. However, with the coronavirus outbreak postponing events, the parties involved are debating whether to move on directly to Alvarez-Golovkin 3 in September. However, Alvarez facing Saunders in June is also a possibility.
Alvarez and Golovkin previously fought twice in middleweight title fights with both results being controversial; the first was a split decision draw while the second was a majority decision win for the former. Many observers felt Golovkin deserved to win both bouts.
The weight class for a trilogy fight is not decided as of yet. Alvarez is open to fighting at middleweight (160) but can ultimately decide if it takes place at super middleweight (168) if he chooses so.
Alvarez currently holds the WBA and WBC middleweight titles as well as the WBA super middleweight title. Golovkin holds the IBF and IBO middleweight titles.
Who do you think wins the trilogy if it goes ahead?
Boxing superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez was set to face British super-middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders on May 2 in Las Vegas. The fight although not official was due to be publicly announced next week. It would have saw the 30-year-old four-weight champion vying to win his first ‘proper’ belt in the 168lb division.

The fight although not official was due to be publicly announced next week. It would have saw the 30-year-old four-weight champion vying to win his first ‘proper’ belt in the 168lb division. The Mexican fighter previously fought and stopped another Brit in Rocky Feilding for a secondary title at the weight in 2018.
Due to the ongoing disruption
to sporting events caused by the Corona Virus pandemic boxing promotion
Goldenboy and streaming giants DAZN are assessing if the Canelo-Saunders fight will
still go ahead as planned.
Per BoxingNews24 if the fight is unable to take place on May 2, Saunders is unlikely to get the fight at a later date. That is because the sports broadcasters are hoping to see Canelo complete his trilogy with long-time rival and middleweight standout Gennady Golovkin in September. Whilst the biggest star in boxing is also believed to be scheduled to fight Ryota Murata in latter stages of 2020 or in the first quarter of 2021.
This news comes one day after Goldenboy CEO Oscar De La Hoya announced the cancellation of two of his shows scheduled for this month – including the fight between top prospect Vergil Ortiz and Samuel Vargas. In a statement to TV partner DAZN the legendary boxer turned promoter said.
“This
morning, we were informed by the California State Athletic Commission that all
combative sports events have been cancelled for the month of March due to
concerns regarding COVID-19,” Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy
said in a press release on the cancelations. “Therefore, our March 19 and March
28 events, which were scheduled at Avalon Hollywood and the Forum respectively,
have officially been postponed. We will work with state and local officials as
well as our venue and broadcast partners to determine the best course of action
with respect to these and other upcoming events, both in California and
elsewhere.”
“The health and safety of our fighters, fans, employees, officials and partners is of the utmost importance to us, and we thank them for their support and understanding during this time. We will communicate further plans when the time is appropriate.”
