Middleweight puncher David Lemieux (32-2-, 30KOs) is hoping to become the next deadly force at 160-pounds. Currently the most feared man at the weight is WBA/IBO/WBC-Interim champion Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28KOs).
Lemieux is following in Golovikin's footsteps by making his American debut in New York City. Golovkin debuted in the United States in 2012 in Verona, New York. Lemieux makes his American debut on December 6th in Brooklyn, New York. He faces Gabe Rosado (21-8, 13KOs), who Golovkin stopped in seven rounds last year, as the headline fight at the Barclays Center.
"I can't wait for the fight. Gabriel Rosado is a great fighter. He comes to fight and he's a very tough opponent. However, I've never felt so strong in a camp and trained so well. If you saw my fight against Fernando Guerrero, it is going to be a new David again. I'm going to be a beast on December 6 and it's going to be dangerous. I can't wait. I've always trained hard, for people who don't know my background; I've never cheated myself. I always put in all the work in the gym," Lemieux said.
"Not everybody knows me here, but after December 6, you will. If you're worried about 'Triple G', there's a new name that's coming in...Lemieux. Wait until you see my fight and then we will speak."
