Both fighters involved in the main event of the Sept. 16 boxing event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, weighed in and faced off at the MGM Grand on Friday.
Gennady Golovkin’s trainer, Abel Sanchez, says a win over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez would mark a career-defining fight for the 35-year-old boxer.
On Sept. 16, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will face Gennady Golovkin in the ring. Canelo’s trainers, Eddy and Chepo Reynoso discuss what will give him an advantage, and who has more pressure on them ahead of this fight.
The co-main event for the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin boxing event will now feature Joseph Diaz vs. Rafael Rivera. Diaz’s original opponent, Jorge Lara, withdrew citing a back injury days prior to the Sept. 16 fight.
