LAS VEGAS — It’s the fight boxing fans have been waiting for four years. Undisputed world super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin will finally settle their rivalry in the third fight of this trilogy on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena, streaming live on DAZN and PPV.com.
The 32-year-old Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 knockouts) will be looking to rebound from his decision loss in May to WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol, while 40-year-old Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) will be looking to avenge the only loss of his professional career.

The card will also feature a budding superstar Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (16-0, 11 KOs) defending the WBC junior bantamweight title against Israel Gonzalez (28-4-1, 11 KOs). A Rodriguez victory will place him prominently in position to win the 2022 Fighter of the Year award.

A real intriguing undercard eight-round fight pits a pair of rising undefeated junior welterweights in Aaron Aponte (6-0, 2 KOs) and Fernando Angel Molina (8-0, 3 KOs).
