After Saul Alvarez is forced to pull out of their fight due to a drug suspension, GGG puts his titles on the line

Gennady Golovkin will defend his middleweight belts against relative unknown Vanes Martirosyan

Martiosyan, known as 'Nightmare', has failed in both his world title bouts so far and hasn't fought for two years.

Golovkin's IBF title will not be on the line as the sanctioning body didn't approve the Armenian-American as an opponent.

Gennady Golovkin was furious with the drug-taking behaviour of Canelo Alvarez

UNFORTUNATELY this fight isn't being shown live in the UK.

In the US, HBO will be covering all the action.

You can stay here on SunSport though for analysis and reaction from ring-side with the fight taking place in the early hours of Sunday, May 6.

IF you're staying up to follow this one, get the coffee ready.

The undercard will begin around midnight UK time and the main bout is expected around 3/4am.
