Billy Joe Saunders claims it is his ‘destiny’ to fight Gennady Golovkin after undefeated ‘great’ defeats Canelo Alvarez

The WBO middleweight champion is eyeing a unification bout against the undefeated Kazakh after he defeats Canelo on Saturday night

Billy Joe Saunders claims it is his ‘destiny’ to fight, and beat, Gennady Golovkin in the near future.

The reigning WBO middleweight champion will no doubt be watching GGG’s next contest extremely closely – the undefeated Kazakh will face Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in their highly-anticipated rematch on Saturday night, which has already threatened to turn sour.

WBA and WBC title holder Golovkin will be aiming to avoid going to the judges again, after their fight last year was controversially awarded as a draw.

Saunders, who faces American Demetrius Andrade on October 20 in Boston live on talkSPORT, hopes Golovkin will come through the fight unscathed to set up a tantalising unification down the line.

“The one I want is Golovkin,” Saunders exclusively told the Daily Star. “I believe it is destiny, I believe he is going to win and I will come through then I will show the world what I really am.

“I know I have to be on my game for Andrade, that is not an easy fight and I can’t mess up.

“I would love to see Golovkin come through, me beat Andrade and then we get it on. That’s the end goal for me.

“It’s destiny, it’s meant to happen. I genuinely believe, no matter what people may say, I will beat one of the greats.

“When I was walking to the ring for my last fight with David Lemieux I was thinking ‘This isn’t Golovkin’ and I still boxed out of my skin.

“When I box someone like Golovkin I will have 36 minutes to become an absolute superstar, a household name.

“Nobody will take that away from me once that bell rings. I want that big fight to show what I am.

“I can’t look past Andrade, he’s in the way of that dream. Once I beat Golovkin, I can say I’ve done everything.”

Golovkin’s clash against Canelo was one of the most intriguing and controversial clashes of 2017.

After surviving an early flurry from the Mexican, the 36-year-old began to dominate proceedings. However, judge Adalaide Byrd somehow scored the fight 118-110 in Canelo’s favour – meaning the Kazakh won just two rounds.

In order to avoid such a conundrum, Billy Joe warned his potential opponent he must knock out Canelo to win their Las Vegas rematch.

He added: ““I think Golovkin needs to start fast. He’s naturally the bigger man and he needs to make his presence felt. He has to stick to him like glue.

“Canelo is not a good mover on his toes to get out of trouble. He has to punch himself out of trouble.

Golovkin slams 'clown' Alvarez after heated weigh-in



Gennady Golovkin labelled Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez a "clown" after a heated weigh-in on Friday.

After both made weight, Alvarez rushed at Golovkin for the traditional stare down, briefly putting his forehead against the unfazed Kazakh's.

Golovkin (38-0-1) will defend his WBA (Super), WBC and IBO middleweight titles at T-Mobile Arena in a rematch of their drawn fight from a year ago.

The 36-year-old hit out at Alvarez's antics at the weigh-in, promising a "war" on Saturday.

"I saw he is like a clown, he is like a showman, he is not a true guy," Golovkin said.

"Tomorrow, you'll see a real war. This is not a fight, this is not a regular fight, [it's] like a special war."

Alvarez (49-1-2) is fighting for the first time since facing Golovkin a year ago, having served a six-month drugs ban.

The Mexican accepted he got slightly carried away at the weigh-in, saying: "Look, I got excited from seeing all the fans and it motivated me to do that right now.

"I defeated him at the weigh-in, now it's time for me to defeat him on Saturday."

I question Canelo's sanity: 'I defeated him at the weigh in'. You fell off your chair and acted like a tool. For the sake of decency knock this guy the fuck out. He is horrible for boxing. As is fishnets.

Can not remember a fighter so hated, despised or people wanted to see lose as much as Canelo.

Will you get your head out of the 1960's!

I know fighters like Eubank and Floyd made a living out of people watching their fights to see them lose but this is much different.

Why all the hate?

[TitoFan]

He's hate-able.

[J_Undisputed]

Why all the hate?

Because he's like Oscars douchey little parrot. Echoing all the nonsensical tough talk to try and convince himself that he has this in the bag. If you listen to both it's rewording of the same sentiments. Canelo can't think for himself and he has Oscar's hand jammed so far up his chuff that he'll accept anything Oscar has to say because it makes him feel better about himself. It also feels like he gets off on talking smack in the moment when his opponent and the announcers can't understand him or call him on it.
