Golovkin reminded Canelo of the doping scandal before the trilogy

Kazakh boxer Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) commented on the doping situation around Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs), accusing the Mexican of clown behavior when he tried to justify himself.

In 2018, before their second fight, Alvarez failed a doping test, as a result, the fight was postponed. A small amount of clenbuterol was found in his doping test. With this drug, you can quickly build muscle mass and burn fat. The Mexican then claimed that the positive test came from eating contaminated meat.

"I stick to my words. I take full responsibility for everything I said. But we are not talking about any statements. We are talking about real facts. It was he who gave a positive result, and it is he who is trying to come up with some kind of excuse trying to blame other people. This kind of behavior is, I would say, like a clown. I would say that perhaps they are saying, "Well, one, or two, or three times a positive test, it does not count." Maybe , because I'm not a member of the pajama club, so they are offended by me," Golovkin quoted Yahoo Sports as saying.

Recall that the Golovkin trilogy with Canelo will take place on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) and will be held in the super middleweight limit. Boxers met in the same place in 2017 and 2018, the first fight ended in a controversial draw, and Alvarez won the second by decision.
