Gennady Golovkin has suggested that his great rival Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez may have grown “delusional” as a result of his ascent to the top of the sport.
The pair clash again on 17 September in Las Vegas to complete one of the most remarkable trilogies of this generation and Golovkin has not ruled out a fourth fight either. Golovkin and Canelo engaged in a two-city press tour last month to publicise the encounter and the latter spent much of it telling just about anybody who would listen that this time it is personal. An unusual admission from any boxer.
