GGG VS CANELO AGREE TO REMATCH!


Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez announced today they will square off in a rematch of their September 2017 draw on May 5. 

HBO BOXING made the official announcement! Location is still yet to be determined. 

The two world class boxers fought to a draw at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, last September.

Canelo Alvarez and Gennady "GGG" Golovkin will step back into the ring to battle it out once again. HBO officially announced on Monday that the rematch will indeed be taking place on May 5, Cinco de Mayo. 

Golovkin (37-0-1) and Alvarez (49-1-2) left fans in shock when their 36-minute match was ruled a draw. The bout itself was as exciting as we all imagined, however, the finish left everyone calling for the inevitable rematch. 

"Of course I want a rematch. Yes, the next fight I want a true fight," Golovkin said immediately after the fight. "I have a couple of ideas [for the rematch]. I want a close fight, Mexican style."

"I think I won eight rounds," Alvarez said. "To be convincing, I felt that I won the fight. Yes, of course, obviously [I want a rematch]. Yes, if the people want it, yes. He did't win, it was a draw. I always said I was going to be a step ahead of him. We'll fight in the second one but I win anyways."

In the official release from HBO announcing the rematch, both fighters expressed excitement over the Cinco de Mayo battle because a second fight is what the fans deserve after the draw in September 2017. Both Golovkin and Alvarez are out to make sure there is no confusion come May 5.

"I am ready to battle Canelo again and am pleased he took this fight," Golovkin said. "This is the fight the fans and the media want. This is the fight boxing deserves."

"I'm delighted to once again participate in one of the most important boxing events in history," Alvarez added. "This second fight is for the benefit and pleasure of all fans who desire to see the best fight the best."

"I didn't agree with the judges' decision last September, but I will ensure that this time there is no doubt for anyone that I am the undisputed middleweight champion of the world," Golovkin said.

"This time, Golovkin won't have any excuses regarding the judges because I'm coming to knock him out," Alvarez said.
