The talk of them fighting has reached fever pitch. Before approving of Canelo’s recent fight with Amir Khan, the WBC stipulated that if he does not fight his mandatory, Triple G, next, he will be stripped of his interim WBC middleweight title.
The two camps are in negotiations and have two weeks to reach an agreement. If they fail to reach an agreement, the WBC will schedule a purse bid on May 24.
Despite the machinations, and WBA has decided to not interfere.
“The WBA will not interfere in the Golovkin-Canelo negotiations,” said WBA president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza. “That is the fight the fans want.
“However, should they not reach an agreement, the WBA mandatory fight for Golovkin will be against Daniel Jacobs.”
