When is the Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez fight?

Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez will put on arguably the best fight of the summer and that includes the mayhem that came from the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.

Golovkin is the unfederated IBF, IBO, WBA and WBC world champion and will face Alvarez, who is 49–1–1 (34 KOs) in his career. The fight will be held on Saturday, September 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
