As part of the promotion of the third fight between Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin, both went to Yankee Stadium to throw the initial pitch of this Monday’s match in MLB between the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics.
As if they were hours away from getting into the ring, Canelo and Golovkin faced each other in the middle of the Yankee Stadium home plate, making clear their desire for the third fight between them; the funny thing is that they both wore a Yankees shirt.
Both the Mexican and the Kazakh made it clear that the competition goes beyond gloves and that is why they prepared with everything; in the case of Canelo he was seen practicing with Eddy Reynoso in one of the Yankees locker rooms minutes before kickoff
They later jumped onto the mound and threw the opening pitch. It was striking that in the case of Canelo Álvarez he used an underarm throwing technique, while Golovkin did execute the shot in a common way.
After the opening pitches, they received loud applause from those present, many of them boxing lovers.
The invitation to the fighters to be part of the meeting between the Yankees and Athletics is part of the campaign that both Canelo and Golovkin will have next September at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
For a couple of days both fighters have been making comments about the fight that will be the closing of the trilogy; previously Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin equaled by unanimous decision and in the second match the Hispanic took the victory by majority decision.
