Alvarez-Golovkin rematch back on for September

Los Angeles, USA: Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin will square off in their highly-anticipated rematch on September 15 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya said on Wednesday.

"I’m happy to inform that we have a fight September 15!!!!," De La Hoya tweeted. 

The two fighters had been due to fight each other in Las Vegas in May before the middleweight bout was cancelled after Alvarez failed a drug test.

With Alvarez free to fight once his six-month suspension ends in August, the two rivals had been expected to fight again in September.

But talks stalled because Alvarez's camp were reportedly not happy with middleweight world champion Golovkin's insistence on receiving a 50/50 split in revenues.

The final terms of the agreement or details of the purse split were not released.
