'This Fight Is Important For My Legacy'. Boxing Preps For Álvarez-Golovkin Trilogy
All which makes tonight’s fight, between Álvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin in Las Vegas, all the more crucial for Álvarez. The Mexican boxer is already one of the most influential fighters of the 21st century. In 2018, he inked staggering 11-fight, $365 million fight deal with DAZN, a new sports media entity that had just launched. Álvarez, who hails from Mexico, trains in Southern California and has homes in both San Diego and Guadalajara, is popular throughout North America.
The incident is still a source of bad blood. Golovkin has never believed Álvarez’s contention that he unintentionally used a banned substance “I’m more concerned about the situation from the standpoint of my opponent claiming to be one of the best fighters, one of the best representatives of the sport, and at the time behaving as if violating this once is still ok,” says Golovkin, who’s from Kazakhstan, through an interpreter. “This is disappointing.
Álvarez won that rematch, in another close bout. Boxing should have completed the trilogy soon after this 2018 fight, but as it the sport’s wont, all kinds of sniping got in the way. So fans had to wait four years for the third fight. Golovkin’s now 40.
