Golovkin: I won the first Canelo fight comfortably, I know what I need to do

The world champions and their teams discussed the historic rematch following last September’s controversial draw with both fighters contending they will not allow the rematch to go to the judges’ scorecards.

Here’s what Golovkin had to say at the event:

“I’ve done my homework. I know what I need to do to win this fight,” said Golovkin. “This fight will be even bigger.

“After the first fight, I felt good. I felt I won the fight and I was comfortable. I’ve had a lot of time to rest.

“This fight will be different. I don’t make predictions, but I know I will give a big show,” he added.
