Eddie Hearn Says Canelo Alvarez Loss Made Gennady Golovkin Trilogy “Bigger”

The Canelo Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol fight was one of the biggest upsets in recent boxing history. Despite the fact that Bivol was a formidable opponent with excellent footwork and powerful jabs, the crowd had already declared the Mexican king the winner. Unfortunately, the king was dethroned. However, renowned promoter, Eddie Hearn, made an intriguing statement that may offer supporters optimism that Alvarez will prevail.

“The Golovkin fight becomes bigger now because people give Golovkin a chance of winning the fight.” Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn said in an interview with iFL TV. “Before it was all like, Oh, he’s 39 he’s 40, he’s not going to win the fight. Now people look at that performance and say, OK, maybe Golovkin’s got more chance.”

The Matchroom boss believes the Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin trilogy has even better chances. This may be a game-changer, and fans would undoubtedly enjoy witnessing it.
