Junior middleweight contender Vanes Martirosyan (36-3-1, 21 KOs) has no problem stepping in on late notice to face WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs).
Golovkin has a scheduled return date of May 5th, likely at the StubHub Center in Los Angeles - but time is quickly running out to stage the event.
"I'm ready to glove up," Martirosyan told the Los Angeles Times Wednesday. "When they asked me if I'd take this fight on Monday, I said yes. I didn't ask about money at all."
Vanes has been out of the ring since a May 2016 twelve round decision loss in his rematch with Erislandy Lara.
However, Vanes is the WBC's top rated contender at junior middleweight and he's been approved by the California State Athletic Commission to fight Golovkin on short notice.
Golovkin has been out of the ring since last September, when he fought to a controversial twelve round draw with Canelo Alvarez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
A rematch was set for May 5th, at the same venue, but last week Canelo withdrew from the contest. The Mexican superstar has been placed under a temporary suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, after testing positive for banned substance clenbuterol back in February.
Vanes believes the contest with Golovkin would be a very good main event for a boxing fans in the Los Angeles area.
"It's a good show for L.A. Cinco de Mayo. Armenians will pack the place," Martirosyan said. "I have a lot of Mexican fans. I'm better than anyone else they're mentioning.
"I want it out there that what makes sense is fighting me, honestly. I do believe in my heart I'm going to beat (Golovkin) because he's never fought someone with my style. I've been training my (rear) off. I'm sparring. I'm on weight. I'm just waiting for them to call me."
