Gennady Golovkin’s promoter has been inspired to agree a super-fight against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium after witnessing this week’s Wembley mania.

Tom Loeffler is also part of Wladimir Klitschko's management company and is alongside the challenger in London before Saturday's Sky Sports Box Office fight against Anthony Joshua.

Dallas holds 90,000 people so that would be a great location.

The 90,000 capacity at the national stadium has Loeffler dreaming of booking Golovkin's preferred fight against Alvarez - who must first beat Julio César Chávez Jr next week - in an American venue "as big as possible".

"Dallas holds 90,000 people so that would be a great location," Loeffler exclusively told Sky Sports. "Gennady has never fought there."

Asked if he would mind edging closer to Alvarez's home of Mexico, Loeffler said: "That wouldn't be a problem. Gennady has fought all over the world, he fought Kell Brook in the UK. So he wouldn't mind where the location is."

The WBA 'super', IBF and WBC middleweight champion Golovkin is still recuperating from his 12-round decision win against Danny Jacobs, Loeffler confirmed, so will "definitely not" fight in June in his home country of Kazakhstan.

But he still harbours hopes of adding a fourth world title by taking the WBO belt from Billy Joe Saunders, who will next defend against Avtandil Khurtsidze.
