"My goal is to end the fight before the 12th round"- Canelo Alvarez sends a stern warning to Gennadiy Golovkin ahead of Canelo vs. GGG 3

Canelo Alvarez is desperate to win the trilogy clash against Gennadiy Golovkin on September 17 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he wants to earn it via stoppage. The Mexican star underperformed in his latest fight against WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol and suffered a decision loss. He will now put his undisputed super-middleweight crown on the line against ‘GGG’ and has already clarified a few of his in-ring intentions.

The 32-year-old connected with Matchroom Boxing ahead of Canelo vs GGG 3 and revealed how he wants to end the fight.

“I always prepare myself for the best fighters out there. So, I think it’s gonna be a good fight. My goal is [to] end the fight before the 12th round.”

Watch the interview below:

Meanwhile, several boxers like Juan Manuel Marquez and Billy Joe Saunders have already backed Canelo Alvarez to knock Golovkin out in the trilogy. Aged 40, ‘GGG’ has seemingly passed his prime and looks close to his retirement. However, he didn't let that affect his performance against Ryota Murata, which the Kazakh boxer won via TKO to become the unified middleweight champion.

Canelo Alvarez will be a much tougher opponent than Murata, but Golovkin has also witnessed Alvarez’s power in 2017 and 2018. So, he knows what it takes to hang around with the Mexican powerhouse.
