What has been said?
“I feel very happy and proud to be able to give the best fights and this fight won’t be an exception,” said Canelo.
And Golovkin has simply said: “I hope to see you on September 17.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn added: “The Canelo vs GGG trilogy is the biggest fight in boxing and I am delighted to get this made for September 17.
“These are two men that bitterly dislike each other and want to end this incredible series with a blistering KO.
“I truly believe this will be the most thrilling fight between these two great champions and it will be fireworks from the first bell to the last man standing.”
What has Canelo had to say?
Canelo Alvarez is stepping back into the ring for the first time since his loss to Bivol in May.
But he’s confident he can knock out Golovkin, who has never even touched the canvas once in his legendary career.
“I’ll be looking to get the stoppage,” said Alvarez. “This is as edgy as I’ve been before a fight for a while.”
“I work better under pressure. The pressure I put on myself is to finish this inside the distance. I have a tough rival in front of me but that will be my aim on Saturday night.
“I’m really motivated to be here.
“Obviously, the [Bivol] defeat hurt but we are back on the path to greatness.”

Wow!
Huge right uppercut from Castro in the fifth round ends Montiel, who folds instantly.
The stoppage had been coming, but that was more emphatic than expected.
Big shot. Big win.
Marc Castro in action
Prospect Marc Castro is currently in action against Fernando Montiel at the T-Mobile Arena.
After four rounds, Castro looks to be in control of things so far.
Tale of the tape
Here’s how the two fighters measure up against each other.
The big sticking point, you’ll see, is Golovkin’s age.
Other than that, the two are perhaps the most well-matched fighters to clash in recent boxing history.

Good evening and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin 3 – that’s right, the trilogy is on.
Four years after their rematch, which ended in a controversial majority decision win for the Mexican, the two multi-weight warriors will come to blows again.
In 2017, the pair met in the ring for the first time, and that also controversially ended in a draw, so Golovkin really feels like he has a score to settle.
The only problem for the Kazakh icon is that time isn’t on his side.
At 40 years old, his best days are behind him, while an argument can be made that Canelo, 32, is in his athletic prime.
The four-weight titlist, however, lost his last fight up at light-heavyweight against Dmitry Bivol – and he looked pretty sluggish in the process.
Golovkin, however, became a unified champion at middleweight by beating Ryota Murata – but will be at his heaviest weight ever tonight.
As ever, we’ve got all the action covered here at SunSport for what should be a stellar night of fights from Las Vegas.
So kick back and crack open a cold one – Canelo vs GGG III is upon us!
