Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will step back down to super-middleweight to defend his status as undisputed champion against Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy fight on September 17.

Alvarez (57-2-2, 39KOs) remains the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO champion at 168lbs despite being outpointed by Russia’s Dmitry Bivol earlier this month when venturing up to light-heavyweight.
