DAZN, in collaboration with Unrealistic Ideas and executive producer Mark Wahlberg, on Thursday debuted Episode 3 of "40 Days: GGG-Rolls." The behind-the-scenes documentary series followed Gennadiy Golovkin and Steve Rolls around for eight weeks ahead of their June 8 fight at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Two previous editions of the "40 Days" have been released. The first, produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter of UNINTERRUPTED, chronicled the fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs. The second edition covered the Anthony Joshua-Andy Ruiz Jr. fight, with producers Meek Mill and Jay-Z's Roc Nation signing on.

GGG opens the new episode, titled "Against the Odds," by answering media questions about his form, his preparation and that all-encompassing potential third match against Canelo.
"I believe he's is ready," Golovkin says of Rolls. "He's ready for a real fight, ready for war. This is boxing, this is not a game."

When asked about that a possible trilogy fight with Canelo, GGG replies, "Why not?"
Rolls is then shown preparing in Toronto. He says he's out to prove to himself that he belongs in the ring with Golovkin.
"With this fight, not only am I trying to prove something to people, that's not really the thing, it's [proving] myself," Rolls says. "[I'm telling myself], 'This is where you belong, keep pushing yourself.'"
The catchweight (164 pounds) fight is the first in Golovkin's six-fight contract signed with DAZN in March. This is GGG's (38-1-1, 34 KOs) first match since September when Alvarez ended Golovkin's 39-fight unbeaten streak.
Rolls (19-0, 10 KOs) will enter the ring for the first time since December where he defeated KeAndrae Leatherwood by unanimous decision.
