WBC-WBA middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) will return to the ring on Cinco de Mayo weekend, but his opponent remains a mystery. One option appears to be yet another fight with Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs).
Oscar De La Hoya recently revealed in an interview with ESPN 97.5 Houston that discussions are underway for a trilogy between the two rivals.
“Last night I had preliminary talks with Golovkin’s people. We threw it out there about fighting for the third time on Cinco de Mayo, which is the biggest weekend in boxing in Las Vegas,” De La Hoya said.
