Golovkin, 37 fights unbeaten with 33 knockouts, has never even been knocked down in his professional career and will defend his WBA, WBC and IBF middleweight titles on Saturday night.
Alvarez is a former world champion in his own right, having previously held belts at middleweight and light-middleweight, and his slick counter-punching is expected to test Golovkin to his very limit.
But first, both must get under the 170lb middleweight limit at the weigh-in – so here’s how to make sure you don’t miss it.
