Canelo Alvarez will have several options for his next fight after retaining his undisputed 168lb title with a trilogy win over Gennady Golovkin.
The Mexican star settled his long-term rivalry with Golovkin at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and retained his four belts with a comfortable points victory. Alvarez returned to winning ways after being defeated by Russian star Dmitry Bivol, but he could look for a second meeting providing the Russian gets beyond his mandatory challenger in Gilberto Ramirez.
Alvarez could be out of action until September next year after revealing he will likely require surgery on a hand injury. However there will likely be further options at both 168lb and 175lb on the table should he continue to ply his trade where he has had huge success in recent months.
