Canelo himself is scheduled to fight against Russian Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) on May 7. If both Alvarez and Golovkin win the upcoming fights, then September 17 will be their third fight.
“They wanted me to (again) fight Golovkin. And I said, 'Why not? Everyone wants me to fight Golovkin, don't they?" Maybe it's a little late, maybe not. But everyone wants this fight," Alvarez said.
Canelo reminded that with Golovkin he has not only a sporting interest:
“Yeah, it’s personal. He talks a lot of shit. He talks a lot. We’ll see,” the Mexican anticipates. “But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. and about Golovkin.
The first fight between Golovkin and Alvarez in September 2017 ended in a draw, and a year later, Canelo celebrated the victory by decision.
