Canelo is coming off a shock defeat to Dmitry Bivol back in May. Despite being the strong favorite, Alvarez was dominated by Bivol and lost a convincing 12-round decision. Meanwhile, Golovkin impressively won his last bout in April against Ryota Murata to unify the WBA (Super), IBO and IBF Middleweight Championships.
There is no love lost between Canelo and Golovkin who have shared the ring on two previous occasions. In 2017, the pair fought to a split-decision draw where many thought 'GGG' deserved to win.
A rematch took place in 2018 and this time the Mexican superstar was awarded a majority decision victory to capture the WBC, WBA, IBO and The Ring Middleweight Championships.
