ASTANA. KAZINFORM - Gennady Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler revealed that rematch with Canelo is likely to happen next May, Kazinform has learnt from Sports.kz.
"We're gonna do our best to do a rematch with Canelo in May," Loeffler told FightHubTV. "Hopefully, we can work it out and the fans will get to see it again."
Asked if the negotiations about the rematch are underway, Loeffler said that last week he had a conversation with Eric Gomez [of Golden Boy Promotions].
