HBO SPORTS® PRESENTS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®:
CANELO ALVAREZ VS. GENNADY GOLOVKIN
WHEN THE REPLAY OF THEIR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED
MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY SHOWDOWN IS SEEN SEPT. 23

HBO Sports presents WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: CANELO ALVAREZ VS. GENNADY GOLOVKIN, the exclusive replay of their highly anticipated showdown, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT). The HBO Sports team, which was ringside at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the live HBO Pay-Per-View® presentation on Mexican Independence Day, called all the action, which will be available in HDTV, closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired and presented in Spanish on HBO Latino.
The fight will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO®, HBO On Demand® and affiliate portals.
In the sport’s top matchup of 2017, middleweight champ Gennady “GGG” Golovkin put his title belts and undefeated record on the line against his arch-rival, superstar Canelo Alvarez, who despite having just turned 27 has emerged as a box office powerhouse and one of the sport’s elite fighters. Their 12-round fight took place under the bright spotlight of the T-Mobile Arena.
Complementing the exclusive replay on HBO will be two live bouts from Inglewood, CA next Saturday night as Jorge Linares and Luke Campbell — in a lightweight title fight– headline the card from the venerable Forum.
