It is one of the most anticipated boxing matches of 2022.
One of the most iconic and controversial rivalries of recent times.
'Canelo' is favored thanks to his world titles in 4 different weight divisions (WBC, IBF, WBA, and WBO).
The Mexican, originally from Guadalajara, is considered the best boxer of the modern era and Mexican history.
His challenger was born in Kazakhstan 40 years ago.
Gennady Gennadievich Golovkin (GGG) is an Olympic athlete and is recognized for being a medalist in Athens 2004 and amateur boxing world champion in Thailand (2003).
This rivalry became media and commercialized with the first encounter that took place exactly 5 years ago (2017) and ended with a draw between both fighters.
A year later, in September 2018, 'Canelo' and GGG faced each other again, but this time the Mexican took the advantage.
The victory was in the hands of Saúl Álvarez by majority decision.
With this first triumph between both boxers, 'Canelo' won the belts of super middleweight super champion of the WBA and middleweight champion of the WBC.
