Boxing news: Canelo Alvarez sends message to Gennady Golovkin after defeating Daniel Jacobs

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez beat Daniel Jacobs to add the IBF crown to his WBC and WBA middleweight titles and claimed he is prepared to face Gennady Golovkin in a third fight.

Canelo, who became a three-weight world world champion last year when he moved up a division to beat Rocky Fielding, won a unanimous decision at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old won his last meeting with Golovkin in September after the first contest ended in a draw, and the Mexican legend says he will listen to what the fans want.

"I'm just looking for the biggest fights and the biggest challenge," he said. "That's what I want for my next fight."

"I don't think me and Golovkin have any unfinished business. For me it's done but if the people want it again we can do it and I will beat him again.

"That's why I'm here, that's why I was born, to fight, to defend what is mine and I will fight anyone."

Canelo has been beaten only once in 55 fights and needs just one more belt to become undisputed champion of the middleweight division - the WBO strap held by Demetrius Andrade.

He's a tremendous champion, and I tip my hat to him," Jacobs said about his opponent after the fight.

"I definitely think it took me a couple of rounds to get my wits about me.

"I feel like I gave enough to get the victory, but I've got to go back to the tapes and see what happened."
