    Gold Medalist Ryota Murata to spar Golovkin!

    A story that has reached us from Japan is that unbeaten Japanese Middleweight Ryota Murata (4-0, 4) will be sparring with current WBA world champion Gennady Golovkin (29-0, 26) in the coming days....


    Just had this shown to me.... Gigo said it's most likely sparring where GGG just practices his defense/movement while Murata throws.

    Dude's supposedly getting a title shot next year... so good sparring to help

    Murata is Japan's first gold medalist since 1964, also the only one to do it out of the fly/bantam weights.

    Hopefully we can get footage of the sparring one day

      They want to give him a shot at a title next year, so does this mean he is going to try and do a Lomachenko?
      Maybe he could get Quillin out to fight, probably not.

        Murata's opponents records are already Gary Russell Jr.'s standard/average opponents record.

          Maybe if Korobov wins

            Murata is Top Rank. Quillin is Haymon..

            although since GRJ/Loma it could be possible?

              He's #13 with the WBC so maybe he'll be heading that way?
