Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam Willing To Fight Golovkin For Title

By Kamel Messani/netboxe.com

The official challenger for the WBA middleweight title, Gennady Golovkin (18-0, 15KOs)declared recently, in an interview with a Kazakh newspaper, that the former WBA supermiddleweight champion Anthony Mundine hadn’t signed a contract to face him, and Golovkin then declared that his team was in negotiations with four other boxers from the WBA's top 10, including “El Phenomeno" Hassan N’Dam N'Jikam (23-0, 16KOs).

According to N'Jikam camp, it isn’t true that they were approached, that they never received any offer from Golovkin’s group to step in the ring with him.

Mouss Ouicher, Hassan’s mentor wanted to clarify the situation.

"I’m surprised to hear that Golovkin mentioned us when in fact, our promoter say that they received no call. I would really like for the WBA to honor their words and  the rankings they create. And that Golovkin’s camp really calls our promoter (the Acaries). We knew from the beginning that Mundine would not face Golovkin. And we understand that the Kazakh boxer will do everything he can to avoid fighting Hassan by choosing another boxer from the top 10 who is less dangerous."

In the most recent WBA rankings, Mundine was ranked 1, Golovkin 2, and Hassan 3. Mundine now out of the picture, it seems obvious to us that Golovkin and our guy should face each other. So today, what I wish is that our promoter and Golovkin’s promoter sit together and make this fight happen. If Golovkin fights another boxer, the title of world champion of the WBA will have less credibility."

WBO rankings?

"May rankings of the WBO just came out. Strangely, N’Dam who was ranked at the third position in April went down five places to number 8, three places behind a former victim Gennady Martirosyan! I’m really surprised to see this situation and I don’t understand how Hassan went down in their rankings like that. I would really like to hear the WBO [speak] about this, if they could explain to us what happened."

Hassan and his trainer would like all the best middleweights on this planet to know that they are ready to fight any of them, they have no preference. Whatever the alpha-organization is and whenever they want.  Only the conditions could affect their choice.

"We want the negotiations between the two camps to be real and honest. Under those conditions, Hassan isn’t going to avoid anybody” said Mouss Ouicher.
