Canelo Alvarez admits he is risking everything in Gennady Golovkin grudge fight

Canelo Alvarez admits he has little to gain from a trilogy clash against Gennady Golovkin after the pair agreed to fight in September.

Alvarez will put his undisputed super-middleweights belts on the line against Golovkin on September 17. The Mexican came up short in his effort to win the WBA light-heavyweight title agains Dmitry Bivol earlier this month, suffering his first loss in almost a decade.

The fight on Mexican Independence Day weekend marks almost four years since their controversial rematch which Alvarez won by majority decision. The rivals first met in 2017 when they fought to a questionable split draw.
