Saul “Canelo” Alvarez suffered just his second career loss earlier this month when he was outpointed by Dmitry Bivol in a light heavyweight (175 lb) fight. Before that fight went down, Canelo had agreed to finally give Gennady Golovkin the third fight he’s wanted for so long.

When Canelo lost, it remained to be seen if that would actually happen. But according to the man himself, it will indeed go down in September (via ESPN Knockout)

“In the next few days we will announce the September fight. Surely, it will be against GGG because we already had that agreement, but I will also fight Bivol again.
