IBF/IBO/WBC/WBA middleweight world champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) is not even thinking about a move in weight to 168-pounds - until he captures all of the titles at 160-pounds.
Golovkin is only missing the WBO world title which is held by Billy Joe Saunders of the UK.
The unified champion returns on September 10th at the O2 Arena in London - when he makes a voluntary defense of his titles against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, who is moving up by thirteen pounds to challenge GGG.
Saunders is reportedly coming back on September 17th, potentially on the undercard to the Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Liam Smith HBO Pay-Per-View.
Golovkin has been the longtime champion under the WBA and IBO. He added the IBF title last October with a stoppage win of David Lemieux. Then in May he picked up, by default, the WBC world title when Canelo refused to face him in a mandatory title defense. Canelo, who held the title, vacated the belt and the sanctioning body made Golovkin the champion.
Golovkin is not interested in moving up until he achieves his goal - capturing all of the major world titles in his weight division.
“I have a goal to capture all of the titles. I am going to do everything possible to do that. There are good fighters and good champions in the weight division that I represent. My idea and my goal is to have all of the belts in this division," Golovkin said.
