Golovkin vs Canelo Rematch Update From Oscar De La Hoya

The latest Golovkin vs Canelo rematch update has come today from one of the potential fight’s promoters – and it’s not looking good.

Initially there was a lot of optimism that the rescheduled rematch would take place this September after Canelo Alvarez served out a six month suspension for failing a drugs test.

However, in boxing, as it so often the case, things can change at the drop of a hat.

Now there has been reports that Golovkin wants a fifty-fifty split for the rematch whereas Canelo and his team are still looking for a 65-35 split, reportedly.

Canelo’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya released the following update on social media a short time ago:

Presumably at the end there he’s referring to WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders.

At any rate, this doesn’t look good. At all.

Anything less than a Golovkin vs Canelo rematch will come as a massive disappointment to boxing fans all over the world, no question about it.
