Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has vowed to put Gennady Golovkin on the canvas when they meet in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The 27-year-old Mexican (49-1-1 KO34) - a three-weight world champion - arrived at the MGM Grand Resort and Casino on Tuesday ahead of his showdown with the unbeaten WBA 'super', WBC, IBF world middleweight champion (37-0 KO33).

Alvarez has lost just once since turning professional in 2005 - a majority points decision loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2013 - and is convinced he can become the first man to defeat the Kazakh knockout specialist.

"I always prepare myself to give the best. I want this for my people, my team, for my country. And that's what I'm going to do this Saturday.
