Rather than entertaining a third fight with Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, Canelo Alvarez is jumping two weight classes in pursuit of capturing a championship in a fourth weight class. Alvarez will travel 15 pounds north to challenge WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev Saturday night from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The bout has all the makings of a blockbuster given the unknowns for both fighters. Alvarez is riding a three-fight winning streak with his lone blemish of late the majority draw against Golovkin in their first bout. Kovalev, meanwhile, is back on a two-fight win streak after a shocking upset TKO loss to Eleider Alvarez in August 2018.
