Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin’s third fight keeps building up expectation and speculation, including GGG’s retirement after the fight or the twilight of the Mexican boxer after having gotten virtually everything in the sport.
The president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaimán, thinks that if Canelo losses this next fight against Golovkin, he might never be able to go back to the biggest purses and headlining the stelar fights.

What were Mauricio Sulaimán’s exact words?
“Canelo felt the loss to Bivol inmenssly, if he losses to Golovkin on September 17, I think it’ll be very difficult for his career to go back to his actual status”, he expressed to journalist Toño de Valdés.
“He took a big risk when he decided to go up a division to face an undefeated world champ, he lost and now he risks everything against Golovkin.”
The WBC head said that he feels sorry that a lot of Mexican fans are waiting for Canelo to lose another fight, because he thinks the fighter is a man of the people, who’s always trying to help the community, even though some insist to not appreciate what he brings to boxing.

Eddie Hearn thinks a rematch with Bivol will have to wait
The British promoter Eddie Hearn doesn’t think a rematch between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol isn’t likely to happen anytime soon, even though the Mexican fighter has demanded a rematch for May, 2023.
During an interview with The DAZN Boxing Show, he said that Bivol was ordered to face Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez by the World Boxing Association, and after that he has the opportunity to face British fighter Joshua Buatsi, so Canelo will have to wait for his time to come.
Eddie Hearn 'Zurdo has been called as a mandatory but we already put in an exception for Bivol to fight Buatsi.' (via the @DAZNBoxing show)
Already put in an exception. Before the mandatory was called. #boxing #DAZN
