Canelo Alvarez has admitted he had to accept a trilogy bout with Gennady Golovkin due to their contractual agreement.
Alvarez will take on Kazakh star Golovkin for the third time on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as they prepare to settle their feud once and for all. The Mexican fighter will be looking to deliver an emphatic performance after suffering defeat by Dmitry Bivol in his last outing after making a leap to 175lb.
Shortly after defeat, Alvarez stated his intentions to explore a meeting with the Russian but he instead elected to take another showdown with Golovkin on a return to 168lb. And despite having already signed to fight Golovkin, he revealed he was happy with his decision to abandon his pursuit of Bivol.
