LOS ANGELES (July 28, 2017) -- Undefeated World Middleweight Champion GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN wants to make one thing clear. On Saturday, September 16, when he faces Canelo Alvaraez, Golovkin is walking into the ring at the T-Mobile Arena the same way he walked out of the ring at Madison Square Garden, in his last fight -- wearing all his world championship belts.
"GGG will be proudly defending all of his titles -- WBC, WBA, IBF, and IBO -- as well as looking to add The Ring magazine title to his collection when he steps into the ring against Canelo," said Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter. "Fans love this matchup. It's not only the two best fighters in their division fighting each other in their prime, but also two of the most marketable fighters in the sport."
