The great news out of Saturday night was the official announcement of Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) vs. Canelo Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) for September 16th. At stake will be Golovkin’s WBC, IBF, WBA, and (less importantly) IBO Middleweight belts in this highly coveted matchup between two of the best boxers in the world.
We still have one important detail to settle, and that’s where the fight will be held. According to the LA Times’ Lance Pugmire, there are three venues vying to host the event.
Golovkin has had several of his bouts, including both of his pay-per-views, held at Madison Square Garden.
