The rematch the entire boxing world has been waiting for is just one week away as Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin prepare to fight with the WBA and WBC middleweight titles on the line.
The duo clashed last year to produce a controversial draw and they will return to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas next Saturday, September 15. The fight will be broadcast on HBO's pay-per-view in the United States, while BT Sport will also televise it on their Box Office.
Canelo-Golovkin 2, which is BT Sport's pay-per-view debut, is priced at £16.95 and will start at 23:30 on Sept 15. Broadcast begins with rerun of their first fight.

"Supply and demand", I know
Still, one of my boxing 'hates' is UK/IRL PPV for overseas cards
PPV should be to generate money to facilitate fights
GGG-Canelo & Usyk-Gassiev, while brilliant fights, were happening regardless and putting it on PPV here is pure broadcaster greed https://t.co/Dp0dUPLZOb— Joe O'Neill (@J0E_90) September 7, 2018
