“This is an outstanding fight for the boxing world. It is a long overdue affair. You will see the best Gennady Golovkin next September 17,” assured the Kazakhstan challenger.

For his part, “Canelo” showed the confidence that characterizes him in his speech to the journalists present: “I’m going to prepare 100% like a beast. I just want to fight. I wish today was September 17”.
