Alvarez's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, has now revealed that talks have begun with the aim of having the middleweight rivals share the ring for a third time on May 4 in the fight capital of the world.
"Canelo Alvarez is fighting two to three times this year, and fighting the very best. Last night, I had preliminary talks with Golovkin's people. So we threw it out there about fighting for a third time," De La Hoya told ESPN Houston, as report boxingnews24.

"Canelo is open to anything. Canelo is a fighter who wants to fight anybody to be great, and so a third fight is a possibility.
"We're starting discussions, and we'll see where it leads from there," he added.
Golovkin has not fought since tasting defeat for the first time as a professional while Mexico's 'Canelo' successfully moved up in weight to add the WBA super-middleweight title to his collection with a frankly devastating display against Liverpool fighter Rocky Fielding last month.Explore more on these topics:
