# Canelo Vows To ‘Try One More Time’ At 175 – “I’m Looking For Challenges”

Saul Alvarez has indicated that he plans to go back up to light-heavyweight before the end of his career.

The IBF, WBA Super, WBC and WBO super-middleweight champion returns to the ring later this month in a trilogy clash against Gennadiy Golovkin.

Alvarez will take on the Kazakh on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

And after losing his last fight against WBA world light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol back in May, the 32-year-old steps back down to super-middleweight to defend his undisputed crown against the current IBO, IBF and WBA Super world middleweight champion.

Their third fight comes four years since ‘Canelo’ won a majority decision victory in the second fight – and the Mexican is planning on it being the last fight of the big puncher’s career.

[Alvarez has revealed his plan to force the 40-year-old – whose only career defeat came against him – into retirement](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/canelo-sends-warning-to-golovkin/) with a dominant win.

But after hopefully beating ‘GGG’ for the second time in three fights, ‘Canelo’ has revealed a desire to step back up in weight and fight for another title in the light-heavyweight division where he has previously been the WBO champion.

[Speaking to Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshkatzowitz/2022/08/31/canelo-alvarez-talks-third-ggg-fight-my-goal-is-to-end-his-career/?sh=55cfb6563422), Alvarez said:

> “I’m going to keep trying. I’m going to try one more time at 175 \[pounds\]. I’m going to try as many times as I can to be great.
>
> “I already did a lot in boxing. I have a lot of history. I’m doing great right now.
>
> “I want more. I’m not somebody who’s going to say, ‘Okay, I’m good. I’m going to stay in this position.’
>
> “No, I’m the kind of guy who looks for more challenges.”

Golovkin, having been a career middleweight, steps up to super-middleweight for the first time and has flirted with the idea of retirement if he loses a second time to ‘The Cinnamon Kid’, who has been a world champion in multiple weight divisions.
