GENNADY GOLOVKIN steps into the ring to complete his trilogy of fights against rival Canelo Alvarez.
Their two previous fights have been close – with a draw in 2017 and a controversial majority win for Canelo the following year.
And GGG – who goes into the fight as the challenger for Canelo’s super-middleweight titles – says the outcome of this bout will not affect his legacy.
The 40-year-old boxing legend said: “Without any doubt this fight is not going to affect my legacy. Name me a boxer who would not be happy with a career like mine with all my achievements?
“I do not feel any pressure and I do not think I need to prove anything to anybody.
“To me it’s just another fight, a fight people have been wanting to see for a long period of time and now it’s actually coming to reality.”
