The trilogy is confirmed! Although since Monday, Saul Alvarez had advanced that it was practically a fact a new confrontation with Gennady Golovkin, this Tuesday the official announcement of the Canelo vs GGG 3 fight was made, which will take place during Mexico’s national holidays, with the venue to be confirmed.
When does Canelo Alvarez fight Gennady Golovkin?
The official poster of the trilogy between Canelo and Golovkin III was presented on the social networks of the fighter from Guadalajara, with the date set for September 17, 2022, which means the return of Álvarez Barragán to the most emblematic celebration of Mexican boxing for the first time since 2018.

As the maximum exponent of Mexican pugilism for a decade, Saúl Álvarez has fought several times on the Fechas Patrias, the most recent being on September 16, 2018, and September 15, 2017, against -precisely- his next opponent, GGG, with a balance of a win for Canelo and a draw, in both cases in Sin City.
Álvarez Barragán’s first appearance in the United States was on September 18, 2010, against Carlos Manuel Baldomir, whom he knocked out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A year later, by technical knockout, he defeated Alfonso Gomez at the same Californian venue.
In Las Vegas, in 2012, Canelo defeated Josesito Lopez. A year later came Saul’s first loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr, on September 14, 2013. Since then, three years passed to seeing him fight again on the occasion of the Día del Grito, it was on September 17, 2016, when the tapatío knocked out Liam Smith at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL.

Canelo Álvarez vs Gennady Golovkin 2
In the second confrontation (which took place on September 15, 2018, although it was scheduled for May, but was delayed due to two failures of the tapatío in urine tests), Golovkin landed more punches than Canelo, but in the end, the judges gave the victory to the Mexican, in a questioned decision, since even Saúl Álvarez presented more punches in the face.
