Gennady Golovkin took a mystery phone call in the ring immediately following his loss to Canelo Alvarez in their trilogy fight last night.
The boxing legend was thoroughly beaten over 12 rounds by his long-time rival Alvarez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, leaving their feud behind in the aftermath of 108 minutes shared in the ring together. But fans were shocked to see him smiling on his phone chatting to someone in the midst of the post-fight chaos.
Golovkin appeared to be laughing as he spoke to an as-yet unnamed person on the phone during an hectic scene as the scores were read, with Alvarez winning on every scorecard. He has not explained to whom he was speaking, and was not asked about it in his post-fight press conference.
