Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin are squaring off a third time on September 17th for what should be another epic installment in their trilogy. So, here’s what you need to know.
For years, boxing fans around the world only wanted one superfight to take place: Canelo vs Golovkin. The pair terrorized middleweight and super middleweight divisions, but always managed to avoid each other for one reason or another.
They finally came to blows in their first fight back in 2017, which was scored a contentious draw. The rematch, which followed a year later, was scored a split decision for Canelo, giving him the illusive bragging rights over his longtime rival.
After taking different paths since that fight – with Canelo losing to Dmitry Bivol in a step up to light heavyweight – they will fight once again on September 17th, almost five years to the day since their first fight. Here’s what you need to know.
What time is Canelo vs GGG 3?
That’s right, almost five years on from their first epic encounter, Canelo and GGG will share the ring once again, live in Las Vegas.
As noted the fight will take place on September 17th, with the event starting at 8 pm ET and 5 pm PT. If you’re outside of the United States, this means you’ll be up bright and early on September 18th to see the action starting at 1 am BST/2 am CEST, and 10 am AEST.

On the flip side of things, Golovkin was more successful than Canelo in his light fight, as he made the trip to Japan to defend his IBO and IBF middleweight titles against Ryōta Murata. He even picked up the WBA Super Middleweight title on the trip.
