Alvarez's team posted the video of the Mexican star on his Twitter.

It was captioned: "We're ready, we'll see you tomorrow in Vegas."

Judging by the video, Golovkin will have his work cut out as he takes on the lightning-quick Alvarez.

He is sure to find the test of coping with the Mexican's pace a difficult one.

 Last year's bout was controversially scored as a draw after one judge surprisingly marked his scorecard with a 118-110 victory for Alvarez

Last year's bout was a draw, with Adalaide Byrd's 118-110 scorecard in favour of the Mexican particularly surprising.

The rematch was schedule was for May 5 but Alvarez tested positive for a banned substance just two months before the fight, costing both fighters millions of pounds.

It has only added further spice to what should already be a brilliant fight.

Alvarez has suffered just one defeat in his 52-bout career, that to Floyd Mayweather in 2013, whereas Kazakhstani Golovkin has won 38 of his 39 fights, the only blemish on his perfect record the draw last year.

Golovkin holds the WBA and WBC world middleweight belts and the fight will have those two titles as well as the IBO and The Ring Magazine titles up for grabs.
