Gennadiy Golovkin arrived first and did a short interview. Then he stayed until Canelo Álvarez arrived and they had a pretty intense 20-second showdown. No smiles. No handshakes. Golovkin then left and Álvarez did a quick interview.

Gennady Golovkin

On fighting at 168: “It feels the same. Maybe one or two more dinners…more burgers, more tacos.”

On what a victory would mean: “This is not just for me, this is for the sport. I want to bring back the boxing position. I want a clean sport.”

Canelo Alvarez

On fighting Golovkin for the third time: “I’m always 100% focused on whatever fight I’m in. That’s where I have my head. To be 100% focused on this fight.”

On what a win would mean: “It’s really important to me, this kind of fight, to my legacy and to all these people that are here. I really hope I can put on a good show for people.”
