After the fight, Canelo was questioned about Gennady Golovkin, of course. “Like we said in Mexico, we don’t fuck around… I fear noone in this sport.” He invited Golovkin into the ring, and he said he was willing to put the gloves right back on. Yet, he didn’t explicitly say “yes” when asked if he would fight Golovkin this year.
