Undoubtedly, the fight between Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin was one of the best in 2017. Despite the draw and the controversial verdict of judge Adalaide Byrd, who favored the Mexican with eight points, everyone was left wanting to see a rematch.

And it seems that the second fight between them is about to be confirmed for May 5. According to the Los Angeles Times, Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy Promotions, the company that represents Canelo, the official announcement will be made very soon, as the boxer has already accepted.

"It will be another spectacular fight. We want to focus on finalizing everything for this rematch and then we can talk about a third one," Gomez told the American media. According to this information, only the definitive 'GGG' is missing.

However, this second confrontation will not include a rematch clause, unlike the previous one that did have it and ended in a draw (118-110 for Álvarez, 115-113 for Golovkin, and 114-114).

It is worth mentioning that the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is shaping up as the venue for the long-awaited rematch. However, Madison Square Garden in New York is preparing a massive offer that could move the fight to the legendary venue.
