But while the California State Athletic Commission has approved Martirosyan as an opponent and the WBC and WBA, whose world titles Golovkin holds, have agreed to the sanction the title fight, the IBF -- which also recognizes GGG as its world champion -- told Golovkin on Tuesday that it won't approve the bout and that if he fights Martirosyan it would likely strip him of the title.

IBF attorney Linda P. Torres sent a letter on Tuesday to attorney Ron DiNicola, who represents the Golovkin side, and Alex Dombroff, the attorney for promoter Lou DiBella, who promotes IBF mandatory challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko, outlining the reasons for the IBF's refusal the grant approval for Golovkin-Martirosyan, a source with knowledge of the letter told ESPN.
