When Alvarez signed his contract last year, which his promotional company said would pay him a minimum of $365 million, DAZN executive chairman John Skipper said he hoped it would help attract other top fighters. Alvarez made the announcement on his social media accounts Friday. NEW YORK - Gennady Golovkin will return to the ring in June after signing a multiyear deal Friday with DAZN, which gives him the possibility of a third fight with Canelo Alvarez. Kazakh Golovkin and Canelo fought to a disputed draw in 2017 then in the rematch in 2018 the Mexican won an even more controversial points decision that many observers thought could have gone the other way. No date or opponent was announced for the fight, which will be Golovkin’s first since being edged by Alvarez last September in their second bout after they fought to a draw in the first one. He now goes back to middleweight, where he owns a draw and a victory over Gennady Golovkin that lifted him to the top of a loaded division.
While the fight with Murata is compelling on its own, much of the talk around the bout has centered on a Golovkin victory setting up a far more mouthwatering and money-spinning third battle with Canelo some time this Fall. While the wild celebration dragged on in the ring - to match a wild scene that included two fights in the crowd not far from it - Saunders eventually walked off, booed loudly every time he was shown on the huge video board above the canvas. Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions is reportedly offering Canelo a one-fight deal to headline a PBC on FOX PPV in what would be the Mexican superstar’s first PPV appearance since his rematch with Gennadiy Golovkin in 2017. Alvarez is a network and promotional free agent but is keen to keep his options open and has had his previous two fights promoted by Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn.
His loss takes away plans for a September trilogy fight against Gennadiy Golovkin. LOS ANGELES - Canelo Alvarez will return to the ring and to the middleweight division on May 4 to fight Danny Jacobs. Alvarez is still the undisputed super middleweight champion despite losing a light heavyweight contest to Dmitry Bivol. Canelo Alvarez believes that his brief physical exchange of punches with IBF super middleweight champion Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant on Tuesday at their press conference was enough to unnerve him mentally to the point where he no longer believes he can win. The plant has speed. Humidity: Humidity is another very important factor that helps promote the growth of the marijuana plant. Growing your weed outdoors has a number of problems such as the weather going bad, too much rain, snow, etc. hindering the growth of your plants. You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom," Alvarez said at the time. "I'm going to fight anyone who says something about my mom. “I’ll be very honest with you I know Canelo as a person, we had two fight and it is not something that is going to be on my mind all the time, this is not something I consider mandatory or something outstanding.
I hope we'll make a great fight for boxing fans. “We should not jump over the fight in Japan, it is a great fight and I am focused on that,” Golovkin, speaking through an interpreter, told Reuters. The deal calls for Golovkin to fight twice a year on DAZN for the next three years, giving the longtime middleweight champion from Kazakhstan plenty of opportunities to regain titles. Alvarez will defend his WBC and WBA titles against IBF champion Jacobs in a matchup of two of the sport’s top performers. Alvarez isn’t signed with any promoter, because like Floyd Mayweather before him, he doesn’t have to be. But yes, it does look like we’ll get the fight in November. Gennady Golovkin may be focused on his middleweight unification bout against Japan’s Ryota Murata next month but fight fans are fixated on the prospects of a trilogy showdown between the Kazakhstan boxer and longtime ring rival Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KOs) won two middleweight title belts last month with a razor-thin majority decision over Gennady Golovkin. Jacobs, a 31-year-old New Yorker who overcame bone cancer to become a champion, is 35-2 with 29 KOs.
