FROMAnelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin already in Las Vegas ahead of the fight this weekend.
This will be their long-awaited third fight after a draw in the first in 2017 and a second victory for the Mexican in 2018.
“This is a very important fight for my legacy, for me, for the people who want to see it.” Cinnamon said.
“This is a special date for my country, fighting on such important dates makes me very happy and with your support.”
The Mexican puts his super middleweight belt (76.2 kg) on the line. After previous fights in the middleweight division (160 lbs / 72.57 kg) Golovkin makes his super middleweight debut after fighting in all 44 fights of his career at 160 pounds, with 42 wins, one loss and one draw.
“Probably it was the same” Golovkin said about changing his diet in an attempt to gain weight.
“You know, maybe one or two more dinners, more hamburgers, more tacos.”
Talking about plans for the future Golovkin also said that he was ready to fight in his native country, Kazakhstan.
“I have many more plans,” he said.
“There is my native country Kazakhstan, where I think I need a fight.
“On the one hand, I can say that I retired some time ago when the pandemic started, a very active part of my career. But on the other hand, I still have some plans in the boxing world.”
