Gennady Golovkin: record, next fight and profile →
Eddie Hearn of Matchroom will certainly be one of several promoters to approach Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in the coming months. Canelo, a network and promotional free agent, has the ability to fight anywhere.
Gennadiy "GGG" Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs), from Karaganda, Kazakhstan, boxing's most dominant middleweight of his era, is bringing the Big Drama Show and his IBF and IBO world title belts to his opponent's backyard, Japan, where he will rumble with two-time WBA middleweight kingpin Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs), in a long-awaited title unification fight.
Jermall Charlo is waiting for some of the world’s top 160 and 168 pounders to complete their upcoming fights so he can better identify his next foe.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who co-promotes WBA middleweight champion Ryota Murata, is backing his fighter to become a unified titleholder when he faces IBF champion Gennadiy Golovkin in late December.
Promoter Ben Shalom of BOXXER is hoping to finalize a fight between middleweight rivals Chris Eubank Jr. and Liam Williams. The two boxers have been trading words for months and they appear to be inching closer to a showdown in December.
Middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. has confirmed that Liam Williams is "the frontrunner" to be his next opponent in December. Eubank Jr. was back in the ring this past Saturday night in Newcastle - and stopped Wanik Awdijian in five rounds. Awdijian retired on his stool due to a possible rib injury.
Given the excitement generated by last week's trilogy fight between heavyweight rivals Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KO's) and Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KO's), some fans are wondering if we will ever see a third showdown between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (56 -1-2, 38 KO's) and Gennadiy Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KO's).
As the saying goes, it’s not always about if you win but how you win that matters inside the squared circle. IBF super middleweight titleholder Caleb Plant would probably agree with that dictum as it relates to his forthcoming full unification title bout against boxing kingpin Canelo Alvarez, who owns the WBC/WBO/WBA belts, on Nov. 6 in Las Vegas.
Twice-beaten Chris Eubank Jr has told William Hill that he’s aiming to win a world title by the end of the year, and then hopes to secure a unification fight against Gennady Golovkin.
According to middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr, the team behind IBF world champion Gennadiy Golovkin has 'shown interest' in a world title fight. Eubank will return to the ring on October 2, when he faces Sven Elbir at SSE Wembley Arena.
