Alvarez and Golovkin threw first ball in Yankees game
Mexican boxer ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, undisputed super middleweight world champion, was part of the opening ceremony at Yankee Stadium, which caused the expectation of the attendees.
The moment was used as an opportunity for ‘Canelo’ Álvarez to meet Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin, with whom he will fight for the third time next September.
The international boxers faced each other in front of the cheers of the fans who watched them with serious faces.
The rivalry between ‘Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin has grown over time. Both athletes did not speak to each other this afternoon, although they did pose for a photo in a scenario unfamiliar to both, but which served to relax a little from the same places they visit for their activity.
Canelo Alvarez, 31, said after the baseball event that his opponent in September is very dangerous, but that when you want to achieve something like him, you have to take risks. He considers himself to be at his best and no one takes his mind off the fact that he will retire his opponent with a win.
In the September fight, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will expose his super middleweight titles of the World Boxing Organization, the World Boxing Council and the International Boxing Federation, as well as the World Boxing Association.
“This will be his last fight. I want to end his career, I will, for sure. I will knock him out, that’s the only way I want to finish the fight,” said Alvarez during the first promotional press conference for the third duel with 40-year-old Golovkin, who will move up to Super Middleweight for the first time.
