Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin is Stripped of The IBF Title

[Outworn]

The IBF has stripped Gennady Golovkin of his middleweight title for failing to agree to make a mandatory title defense against Sergiy Derevyanchenko. The IBF informed the promoters of Golovkin and Derevyanchenko of its decision Wednesday afternoon. The Springfield, New Jersey-based sanctioning organization had until Wednesday to rule whether Golovkin could move forward with another fight, possibly a lucrative pay-per-view rematch against Canelo Alvarez, without having to first make his mandatory defense versus Derevyanchenko.

Yep. Makes sense.....

I think it's almost impossible to maintain 3 or more belts in this day and age. At some point, you're going to miss a mandatory due to circumstances or a bigger payday.

Belts ain't worth ***** anymore.

Exactly.

Golovkin is the middleweight champion of the world, until someone proves otherwise in the ring.
