He said: “I think you’ll see Gennady knowing that he has to win more than eight rounds to get the decision, he’ll be even more persistent in the re-match.

“It doesn’t get any better than the fight with Canelo. It really became an international sporting event, instead of a world boxing championship match.

“Gennady still has all his titles. He’s still the World Champion. And this is a fight that the fans want again, so we can have a more definitive ending to the next one.”

Loeffler also insists everything will be done to ensure a rematch takes place, adding: “We’ll do whatever we can on our side to make it happen.

“With their styles, their punching power, their speed, with both in the primes of their career, it can only get better.”

Mexican-born fighter Canelo had lost just one of his 51 bouts before he took on Golovkin.
