Dubbed ‘Supremacy’, the highly anticipated middleweight bout between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin is set to take place on Sunday, September 17. The card itself will begin at 10am (AEST), with the main fight scheduled for approximately midday (AEST).
The bout will take place at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena – the same venue that hosted Mayweather vs McGregor less than a month ago. New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium and Dallas’ AT&T Stadium also bid to host the bout, but lost out.
Alvarez, of Mexico, sports a 49-1-1 record in his career, with a draw in his fifth career fight and a loss to Mayweather in 2013 the only blemishes.
This will be his third fight at T-Mobile Arena, having defeated countryman Julio Cesar Chavez there in May this year, while also defeating the UK’s Amir Khan at the venue in May 2016.
Golovkin enters this match as a warm favourite, however, having gone undefeated in his boxing career thus far.
His 37 career wins have included a frightening 33 knockouts. This is the Kazakhstanian’s first professional fight in Las Vegas.
