"Golovkin, this time you won't need the judges. I'm going to knock you out," Alvarez said in Spanish in an online promotion of the fight.

Golovkin, who holds the WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO belts, is unbeaten with a 37-0-1 record while Alvarez is 49-1-2, with his only loss coming against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

"This time we won't need the judges," said Golovkin, who is also nicknamed 'Triple G.'
