Party: Canelo vs Golovkin at Brothers

Now the circus is over, the real fight that boxing fans have been waiting for is here.

Unified middleweight world titleholder Gennady Golovkin will defend his belts against former champion Canelo Alvarez.

Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) has 18 straight defences in the division and is looking to get closer to the record held by Bernardo Hopkins, who made 20 middleweight title defences between 1994 and 2005.

Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) will now campaign as a full-fledged 160-pound middleweight following his one-sided unanimous decision victory against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in May. Alvarez hasn’t lost a fight since dropping a majority decision against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.
