A lot has gone on since Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin fought out a thrilling draw in Las Vegas a year ago and the pair meet in the city of lights once more on late on Saturday night.
The judges’ decision to split the pair was widely derided after that first bout, with most pundits and fans feeling the Kazakh Golovkin had shaded matters after being on the front foot for most of proceedings.
The hard feeling about the decision was hightented after the Mexican Alvarez was subsequently found to have committed doping violations on two separate occasions.
The scene is set, the belts are on the line, we’re almost there.
Find everything you need to know about the fight below.
What Time Will It Start?
Good question. The fighters are set to take their ring walks at around 03:30-04:00am on the 16th Sept or very, very early on Sunday morning for UK Audiences.
That depends of course of how long the fights on the undercard go on for and, in big fights like this, they tend to keep us waiting that little bit longer for the big show.
Expect it to be well after four before the first bell sounds.
Where Can I Watch It? How Much Will It Cost?
The bout will be available only by PPV for UK Viewers to watch or stream, on new channel BT Sport Box Office for the princely sum of £16.95.
The channel can be accessed via subscriptions with providers BT TV, Sky and Virgin.
What are the bookie’s odds?
Golovkin has been made the bookmaker’s favourite this time around, being priced up at around the 8/13 mark. His opponent is the underdog at around 11/8 and the draw is 16/1.
