'Everybody knows' – Canelo Alvarez reveals what opponent he wants to fight next after Gennady Golovkin trilogy win | The Sun

CANELO ALVAREZ only has one man on his mind after settling the score with Gennady Golovkin once and for all.

The Mexican scored the most convincing win of his trilogy series with GGG, beating the Kazakh by unanimous decision in Las Vegas.

It followed after a contentious draw in 2017 and razor-thin majority decision victory in the rematch a year later.

Canelo, 32, came into his trilogy bout with Golovkin, 40, having been beaten by Dmitry Bivol in May.

But having finished his business with GGG, the boxing superstar has one more revenge mission left to complete.

Although he must wait for Bivol, 31, to defend his WBA light-heavyweight title against Gilberto Ramirez, also 31, on November 5.

But Canelo confirmed a rematch with the Russian is his No1 priority.

The four-division champion jumped up in weight after winning the undisputed super-middleweight crown in November 2021.

But he appears ready to make the jump from 168lb to 175lb to avenge defeat against Bivol.

Canelo complained of a hand injury after beating Golovkin over the distance and revealed he will take time to recover.

He said: "I need rest. I need to come back and get strength back in my hand, recover my hand and get strength back in my body so I can come back stronger than ever."
