“Canelo” vs. “GGG” on May 5?
Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Oscar De La Hoya, has asked company President Eric Gomez, to start immediate negotiations to organize a third clash between the World Boxing Council, middleweight Champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.
“Canelo” (51-1-2, 35 KOs), whom De La Hoya promotes, wants to return to the ring on May 4, weekend of Cinco de Mayo, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the place where they fought on two previous occasions.
Golovkin (38-1-1, 34KOs) has been inactive since losing against “Canelo” in September 2018. With this victory Álvarez won the middleweight title of the WBC.
De la Hoya said in an interview with ESPN Radio in Houston:
“I have had preliminary talks with Gennady Golovkin´s people. We want the third fight on the weekend of Cinco de Mayo, which is the biggest weekend of boxing in Las Vegas.”
