Just a shiny trinket - Fans react to WBC revealing a special belt for Canelo Alvarez vs Gennadiy Golovkin 3 in Las Vegas
By Josh Evanoff Modified 08 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Canelo Alvarez (L), and Gennadiy Golovkin (R). It seems that Canelo Alvarez's trilogy bout with Gennadiy Golovkin will have another belt involved. The two champions have faced off twice in the past, in 2017 and 2018. The first outing was seen as a great performance by 'GGG'. However, in a shocker, the bout was ruled a split draw and warranted an immediate rematch. They faced off again a year later and the rematch was an absolute barn-burner. The outing was still close, but saw Alvarez claim victory after 12 rounds by majority decision. After the second fight, the two men went their own ways. Now, four years later, they're set to fight for the third and final time next week. The matchup will take place at 168 pounds, and Alvarez will put his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles on the line. If all those championships aren't enough, there will now be another one. The WBC announced that a special ceremonial title will be awarded to the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin 3. The championship is called the Zapoteca Belt, also known as the Jaguar Warrior Belt.
