The Nevada State Athletic Commission has decided to disqualify the "red" Mexican boxer Saul "Canelo" Alveres.

The ex-world champion in two weight classes was caught on doping. As a result, the battle against Gennady Golovkin was canceled. According to the information of BoxingScene, Alvarez is disqualified for six months.

It is noted that the boxer will not receive a fine, because all this time he cooperated with the investigation. Alvarez's disqualification began on February 17, when he actually discovered a prohibited drug - clenbuterol.

The battle between Alvarez and Golovkin moved to September 15. Although at first this duel was to take place on May 5.
