Canelo: I want GGG rematch for first fight of 2018

By Daily Sports on September 29, 2017

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) says he wants his first fight in 2018 to be his “tiebreaker” rematch against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs).

Canelo who still feels he was robbed in the September 16 hyped bout against GGG says the match will prove him right

Canelo will be making the decision for his promoters at Golden Boy Promotion to take the rematch with Golovkin, and for when the fight will take place. Golden Boy started negotiations with Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler last Friday.

The date of the rematch is likely to be in May.

“I feel happy for what I did, and the people were happy with the fight and that’s what’s important,” said Alvarez to ESPN Deportes in discussing his fight with Golovkin. ”They want the rematch, and we’ll see. I’m enjoying a vacation, enjoying what I did, but what I want is that it’s the first fight [of 2018].

“I do not want to fight any other than the tiebreaker and that’s what we’re going to try to do; make it the first fight of the year for Canelo, to be the tiebreaker,” said Canelo in talking in the third person.

Canelo vs. Golovkin brought in over $27 million at the gate, making it the 3rd highest gate in boxing history in Las Vegas behind only the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fights.

“I was always sad because I did not want it to end in a draw,” said Alvarez. ”Obviously, I felt like a winner but that’s boxing. One person said to me: ‘It’s okay; we do not know if you’re going to win, lose or tie other fighters we already know.’ And that’s what makes the big fights,” said Alvarez.
