For fans hoping to see a third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin, this weekend is a big one. Golovkin is set to face Kamil Szeremeta with his IBF middleweight title on the line on Friday night. On Saturday, Canelo will face Callum Smith for a pair of super middleweight belts. A win by both men could bring the boxing world one step closer to the big money trilogy fight.
First, however, Golovkin must run his business against Szeremeta, a mostly unknown fighter who stands in this spot as Golovkin’s mandatory challenger to the IBF belt. If Golovkin hadn’t accepted the fight, he would have lost his championship, so this fight is more of a business than a fan demand. Many expect Golovkin to do light work on Szeremeta, who has only five career knockout victories, but Szeremeta is undefeated and faces the opportunity to become one of the most talked about fighters in the sport if he can pull it off. discomfort.
