Gennady Golovkin vs. Canelo Alvarez rematch official for May 5th

Four months after their memorable clash in Las Vegas, Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez are going to have an immediate rematch.

HBO announced on Monday that two of boxing’s pound-for-pound best will meet on Cinco de Mayo. Noted boxing insider Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson broke the news in this video.

A venue is still to be determined, although the frontrunner should always be the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Golovkin’s promoter, Tom Loeffler, said that AT&T Stadium in Texas and New York’s Madison Square Garden are also in the running.
