Canelo Alvarez's trilogy clash with Gennady Golovkin has officially been confirmed to take place later this year.
The Mexican star signed a two fight deal with Matchroom Boxing this year but lost his title challenge against Dmitry Bivol, potentially jeopardising a trilogy battle. Alvarez was keen to renew his rivalry with the Kazakh star but was first offered the chance of seeking revenge against the Russian.
However Alvarez will now face his bitter rival for a third time later this year with the event confirmed for September 17. A venue has yet to be announced but the huge showdown will likely take place in Las Vegas.
