The 32-year-old Mexican, who holds the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF super middleweight titles, completed a controversial trilogy against the 40-year-old Kazakh.

His first win in September 2018, like his draw the year before, was indeed disputed by many observers and pundits who believed at the time that he should have been considered an underdog.

Golden State Warriors NBA champion Stephen Curry and actor Michael B. Jordan attended Saturday’s game in Las Vegas.

Canelo was declared the winner by three judges (116-112, 115-113, 115-113), according to News.ro.
