By Francisco Salazar - LOS ANGELES, Calif. - It takes two to tango, right? Well, Gennady Golovkin has had a difficult time securing a dance partner in recent fights.
While world title holders think twice whether to fight Golovkin or not, one fighter decided to step up to the plate.
David Lemieux is a hard-hitting middleweight who claimed the IBF title on June 20. He could have fought a voluntary defense against a fighter for less money, but at the end of the day, a significant purse along with the possibility of winning Golovkin's world title belts was too much to pass up.
Lemieux is a different fighter now compared to a few years ago, while Golovkin has that quiet demeanor he displays before a fight that leads to something extraordinary inside the ring.
Fight fans anticipate something will take place along those lines when both square off inside Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 17.
The bout will be broadcast live on HBO Pay Per View. It will be the first time Golovkin will fight on a significant pay-per-view network, something that reflects what his promotional and managerial team have envisioned since Golovkin began fighting in the United States almost three years ago.
