An explosive month is what awaits the World Boxing Association for the upcoming month of September, which will feature five fights of very high caliber that may define the future of international pugilism and a new ranking of the best pound for pound fighter.
International figures such as Gennady Golovkin, Canelo Alvarez, Anthony Joshua, Alexander Povetkin, George Groves and Callum Smith will be some of the main protagonists in the world scene and for this the pioneer organization will have special belts worthy of two separate events.
Beginning with the activities, on September 14th, the females will star in a luxury fight in the Nation of the Rising Sun between the veteran of a thousand battles, Naoko Fujioka, and the Mexican Irma Sanchez for the flyweight championship of the WBA which is held by Fujioka.
But it will be September 15th when the world will stop again to see the expected tie-breaking fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas between Golovkin and Canelo, in which it will be the 21st consecutive defense of the WBA middleweight title by GGG.
