Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin square off for the third time tonight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The score currently sits at 1-0-1 after two contentious contests in 2017 and 2018.In their inaugural encounter, the judges couldn’t pick a winner and declared the contest a split draw although the consensus is that GGG should have had his hand raised on the night. Then, when they boxed again 364 days later, Canelo edged it on the scorecards via majority decision but not without further scrutiny from fans and media alike.With so many questions surrounding their first two contests, a rubber match was booked to settle the debate once and for all – this time at super middleweight for Canelo’s undisputed 168lb crown. Golovkin will be making his first outing at the weight having boxed at 160lb for his entire professional career.Date and venueThe trilogy fight will be held on Saturday, September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas – the scene of their last two contests.Fight times and TV channel/live steamThe card will get going at 1am on Sunday morning UK time with Canelo vs Golovkin expected from 5am.

He pretends to be a good person but he talks a lot of s*** about me. He’ll say, ‘I respect him, his career,’ and in other parts he’ll say, ‘He’s an embarrassing boxer, he’s embarrassing for Mexican boxing.’ I hate that motherf**** because of that.”
