Canelo Alvarez versus Gennady Golovkin was probably the biggest middleweight fight in boxing that could’ve been made.

After having seen that fight twice now, with Alvarez controversially emerging on top, the next biggest fight in the division has been confirmed. ESPN has confirmed that Alvarez will be defending his WBA (Super) and WBC middleweight championships against IBF middleweight champion Danny Jacobs in a unification bout.

The two middleweight stars will collide on Cinco De Mayo weekend on May 4th, likely from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, however, the venue has yet to be finalized. Commenting on the match-up, Alvarez said he has no doubt he’ll emerge victorious against the 31-year-old champion:

“I’m happy to announce my next fight during the festive weekend of Cinco de Mayo,” Alvarez said. “I will unify my middleweight titles against Daniel Jacobs on one of the two most important dates that belong to me.

” I have no doubt that I will be victorious and that I’ll be one step away from becoming the undisputed middleweight world champion.”

As for Jacobs, he has been waiting for an opportunity of this magnitude for a long time. He’s confident he’ll be able to hand the Mexican star his second-ever defeat of his career:

“I’m happy to announce my next fight during the festive weekend of Cinco de Mayo,” Alvarez said. “I will unify my middleweight titles against Daniel Jacobs on one of the two most important dates that belong to me.

“I have no doubt that I will be victorious and that I’ll be one step away from becoming the undisputed middleweight world champion.”

Oscar De La Hoya claims that the early talks of a potential third fight between WBC-WBA middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin are underway. In September 2017, Alvarez and Golovkin fought to a split draw. Moving along to their second fight last September, Alvarez came out victorious by decision.

Alvarez is slated to make his return to the boxing ring on Cinco de Mayo weekend but doesn’t have an opponent lined up. This leads us to De La Hoya, who told ESPN 97.5 Houston that early discussions are underway for a trilogy between the two rivals.

“Last night I had preliminary talks with Golovkin’s people. We threw it out there about fighting for the third time on Cinco de Mayo. Which is the biggest weekend in boxing in Las Vegas,” De La Hoya said (H/T to Bloody Elbow).

Just the next day, the Golden Boy promoter tweeted out that he received his “marching orders” by Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez. These orders were to start talks with Golovkin. He tweeted out the following:

“I’ve given marching orders to my president @makeawar to start talks with @GGGBoxing #CaneloGGG3.”

Potential Issue

The latest update is the fact that Gomez took to his official Twitter account where he wrote the following in Spanish:

“Looks like [Golovkin] does not want Canelo anymore. Prefers easy [fights] as before. We will see friends.”
