    Triple G answers questions about Canelo-Jacobs, and wants a third fight with Canelo.

    He also seems to be open to fighting at SMW if that's what DAZN demands.

    He also does not say who his next opponent is. Says needs to consult with "all his team".

    My guess is his wife's first order was to stop talking English and use a translator like Canelo.

    I don't really like this translator.

    Pay attention to how he needs an interpreter even for understanding the questions. And to understand a foreign language is much easier than to speak it. Especially at important press conferences.

    His English never improved in 8+ years and so he probably thought "f*ck it, lets drop the nice guy act". I hope we see a more savage version of GGG now in the twilight of his career

    Although his English isn't that good, I admire that he tries to speak English as an additional language as much as he could before. Now he want to make sure nothing is misunderstood.

    The need to speak English is overrated.
    Canelo doesn't speak English either, and he's Irish!

    He has never really answered questions properly through the years, even today when the questions were translated to him. His answers usually are always unrelated to the questions! Mannix asked him why it took so long for him to accept the offer, even after being translated he answered something how he was happy to be on dazn and how it will or whatever!

    Golovkin v Calum Smith is damn interesting.

    Triple G obviously has the most pedigree, but with Smith having advantage in youth and size.
