The bout that boxing fans most want to see is one step closer to coming to fruition.
On Wednesday, June 22, Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Oscar De La Hoya, announced that a match between his fighter Canelo Alvarez (47-1-1) and Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (35-0) will take place in the fall of 2017.
Everything came together when Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions, Golovkin's promoter, met face-to-face with De La Hoya earlier this week.
"On Tuesday, Tom Loeffler came to @GoldenBoyBoxing's offices and we agreed that the mega fight between @canelo and GGG would occur next fall," De La Hoya tweeted.

— Oscar De La Hoya (@OscarDeLaHoya) June 22, 2016
Golovkin is ready to fight right now, however Golden Boy wanted to push the fight back for two reasons.
1. They believe the extra time will help to build more hype for the match up.
2. Alvarez wants to become more comfortable at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds.
Alvarez prefers to fight in the 154 pound junior middleweight division. He'll step into the ring at that weight on September 17, 2016, against an opponent to be named later. After that the plan is for him to move up in weight for at least one fight before Golovkin.
"It's Gennady's priority to make the Canelo fight as soon as possible, but Golden Boy felt next year would make the most sense on the promotional side and with the weight as well," Loeffler told ESPN. "We'll be happy whenever we can make the fight with Canelo. We can't force people to get in the ring with Gennady. Canelo wants to work to get up to 160, and we'll try to make the best out of the situation."
Golovkin is also planning to fight in September, possibly against England's Chris Eubank Jr.
I personally believe Alvarez, 25, can easily make the 160 pound weight limit. I don't think the Mexican fighter is afraid to fight Golovkin now, but De La Hoya might feel like the 34-year old pugilist from Kazakhstan could be easier to beat a year from now.
"I believe that Canelo wants to fight Gennady. I don't think he is afraid of Gennady, but I think Golden Boy wants to build up the fight, and the time also gives Canelo time to get to 160 pounds," Loeffler said. "We can jump up and down all we want, but it won't help us get the deal. We have to focus on continuing to build Gennady. The bigger we can make Gennady, the bigger we can make that fight with Canelo, as long as we have to wait."
Who's your pick to win this fight?

Chris Brown is firing back at his former manager, Mike G, who has filed a lawsuit against him alleging the singer physically assaulted him.
According to TMZ, Mike was hired by Chris in 2012 to rehabilitate his image.
Everything was going fine until last month. That's when Mike alleges Chris launched an unprovoked attack that sent him to the emergency room.
"We did everything we could to resolve this in a non-public way to avoid damage to Chris Brown," Mike's lawyer, Patty Glaser told TMZ. "Regrettably, as outlined in our complaint, Chris Brown has proven to be his own worst enemy."
Chris responded via two Instagram videos, calling Mike G a thief and the allegations completely bogus.
"Ok, you knew it was coming. You knew it was fucking coming. Niggas is getting mad and filing lawsuits because I fired them because they're stealing money. You're stealing money, pal" Chris says. "You're mad because you're no longer existent It's alright ... we're gonna keep pushing. God bless ya. Wish you the best of luck."

Ofc. Caesar Goodson (center) acquitted of charges in Freddie Gray's death
Video After The Jump
BALTIMORE (AP) — A judge acquitted a police van driver of all charges including "depraved-heart" murder on Thursday in the death of 25-year-old arrestee Freddie Gray, whose broken neck on the way to the station set off Baltimore's worst riots in decades.
Six officers were charged in Gray's death, but only Officer Caesar Goodson was accused of murder. Gray was fatally injured after officers bound his hands and feet and Goodson left him unprotected by a seat belt that prosecutors say would have kept him from slamming into the van's metal walls.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams delivered his verdict after hearing five days of testimony in the non-jury trial. He also found Goodson not guilty of manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office, and reckless endangerment.
Williams ruled that the state failed to show that Goodson knew he'd cause harm to Gray by leaving him unbuckled, or that Goodson was aware that Gray was injured and intentionally failed to call a medic.
"The state failed to prove the defendant knew or should have known that Mr. Gray needed medical care," the judge said.
"Unlike in a shooting or a stabbing, or a car accident, this injury manifests itself internally," Williams said, citing conflicting testimony from medical experts. "If the doctors weren't clear, how would a person without medical training know?"
The judge also said the state failed to prove that Goodson gave Gray a "rough ride."
"The state had a duty to show the defendant corruptly failed in his duty, not just that he made a mistake," the judge said.
Protests and rioting after Gray's death on April 19, 2015 set the city on fire, forcing Maryland to bring in the National Guard. The unrest forced the city's mayor to abandon her re-election campaign, and the Department of Justice opened an investigation into allegations of widespread police abuse.
Prosecutors said Goodson was criminally negligent when he failed to buckle Gray into a seat belt or call for medical aid after Gray indicated that he wanted to go to a hospital. But Goodson wouldn't talk to investigators or take the stand at trial, leaving the state with slim evidence of intent to harm.
The acquittal of Goodson, 46, is perhaps the most significant blow to State Attorney Marilyn Mosby's efforts to hold police accountable for Gray's death.
Last month, the same judge acquitted Officer Edward Nero of misdemeanor charges, and in December, he declared a mistrial after a jury failed to agree on manslaughter and other charges against Officer William Porter.
Porter faces a retrial in September, and three other officers have yet to be tried.
Gray was arrested April 12 after running from an officer on bike patrol outside a public housing project not far from the Western District station house. A neighbor's video showed him handcuffed behind his back and hoisted into Goodson's van.
The van made a total of six stops that day, and Gray was unresponsive on arrival at the station house 45 minutes later. Prosecutors said Goodson was there throughout and checked on Gray during the third and fourth stops, so he should have known Gray was in distress. They said his failure to call a medic amounts to murder.
A prosecution expert testified that Gray could not possibly have broken his own neck. Prosecutors said the injury happened somewhere between the second and fourth stops, when Goodson and Porter lifted Gray off the floor.
Porter testified that Gray was lethargic, but could breathe and speak, and didn't seem injured. Prosecutors countered that the initial injury became critical as the trip continued.
Second-degree "depraved heart" murder, which carries up to 30 years in jail, would mean that Goodson was so negligent in his inaction that he cast aside any consideration for Gray's life.
During opening statements, prosecutors for the first time accused Goodson of giving Gray a "rough ride," intentionally leaving him unbuckled "to bounce him around in the back of the van."
But by closing arguments, they all but abandoned the theory, saying Goodson's failure to belt Gray in under the circumstances was sufficient to prove the intent necessary for a murder conviction.
"Officer Goodson never calls a medic, he never takes Freddie Gray to the hospital," said Deputy State's Attorney Jan Bledsoe. "He has breached his duty, and because of that breach Freddie Gray's life was shortened."
The judge seemed skeptical, peppering prosecutors with questions and asking what evidence they had supporting the "rough ride" theory. What if Gray had emerged from the van unhurt, despite being unbuckled, and was found to be falsely claiming injury in order to avoid jail?
Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow said the failure to belt him in would still be a crime, although a difficult one to prosecute.
Goodson's attorney Matthew Fraling fiercely rejected the allegations, telling the judge that Goodson was a "gentle" officer who didn't buckle him in because Gray was exhibiting "violent and erratic" behavior, citing witness testimony that he was making the wagon shake back and forth by kicking and flailing inside.
Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., in blue jacket, stands with his attorneys before Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams on the first day of his trial.
Fraling also said Gray said yes when Porter asked if he wanted to go to a hospital only because Gray hoped to avoid jail.
"They have failed to cobble together any type of case with reasonable inferences, let alone evidence," he said. "The mere fact that harm resulted doesn't mean the Officer Goodson's conduct is the cause of that harm."
Goodson's acquittal may impact the remaining cases. Officer Garrett Miller and Lt. Brian Rice are scheduled to stand trial in July on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office; Rice also faces a manslaughter charge.
All the officers but Goodson have filed defamation lawsuits against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and Maj. Sam Cogen of the sheriff's office, who signed the charging documents. The officers claim the criminal charges amounted to false and damaging information.

A Grammy Award-winning producer who has crafted hits for Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Akon and more has filed a lawsuit against Drake, accusing the rapper of orchestrating a physical assault that resulted in his jaw being broken.
Detail, real name Noel Fisher, says that in 2014 Drake offered him a job to produce solely for him. The offer was declined because Detail preferred to be able to work with more than one artist.
According to the lawsuit, Drake wasn't happy about being rejected
In June of the same year the producer was invited to the "Hotline Bling" hit maker's Calabasas, California home to work on new music. When he arrived he says Drizzy's bodyguard, Chubbs, allegedly punched him in the face.
"I will beat all your asses, including your bitches. I don't give a fuck," Chubbs said during the beating, according to TMZ. "I will hit you again. Do you think Drake is soft? You think Drake's a punk?"
The producer believes Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, set him up. He's asking the court to award him unspecified damages.
