A third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin could happen yet.
DAZN Executive Chairman John Skippper met with Alvarez to discuss a three-fight plan as part of the Mexican star’s 11-fight deal with the streaming service, according to a report on BoxingScene.com.
Alvarez would face, in order: Billy Joe Saunders, on May 2 in Las Vegas; Golovkin, on September 12 most likely in Las Vegas or Texas; and possibly Ryota Murata as early as December in Japan.
Golovkin likes the idea of fighting Alvarez in the fall, according to the report.
Alvarez and Golovkin fought to a controversial split-decision draw in September 2017. Most observers thought Triple-G had done enough to win. And Alvarez defeated Golovkin by a majority decision a year later.
Alvarez has said his business with Golovkin is finished but, obviously, Skipper is hoping he’ll reconsider.
