Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin step into the ring to complete one of the most intriguing, entertaining fight trilogies in modern day boxing.

The pair were tied following a split decision in September 2017, before Mexican megastar Canelo won via majority decision in a rematch, almost exactly a year later.

Speculation has brewed ever since the second fight that a trilogy would be completed, but the COVID-19 pandemic meant fans would be made to wait for any potential third bout.

However, a deal was finally struck and the two men will lock horns for a final showdown with pride, glory and belts on the line.

For only the second time in his 61-fight career, Canelo enters this fight off the back of a defeat. The Mexican megastar stepped up to light-middleweight but was toppled by Dmitry Bivol by unanimous decision. Alvarez started his professional career in 2005 but his only other defeat came against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

GGG has defeated every single opponent in his professional boxing career other than Canelo, who blotched the Kazakhstani's record with a draw and a defeat.

Fans will be licking their lips at the prospect of these two supreme boxers going toe to toe once again with a host of belts on the line.
