Gennady Golovkin will get knocked out in his trilogy fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez , former super-lightweight world champion Amir Khan has predicted.
The WBA middleweight champion will renew his rivalry with the Mexican on September 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Canelo controversially ended Golovkin's reign as WBA and WBC king in their rematch in September 2018 via majority decision, and British boxing legend Khan expects his former opponent to get the job even done more emphatically third time round.
When asked for his prediction for the trilogy fight, Khan admitted that he fears Canelo's power and speed will be too much for Golovkin.

"Power, speed. I think in that fight, I could see Canelo [stopping Golovkin]. No disrespect to Triple G - what a beast he is - but you’ve got to remember he’s getting older, and he’s been in the game for a long time.
