Gennady Golovkin: record, next fight and profile →
Depending on whom you ask, the legal battle between Gennadiy Golovkin and his former managers, brothers Oleg and Maximillian Hermann, is either plowing forward like a diesel locomotive or inching along like a polar ice sheet.
A few months ago, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach mentioned the scenario of his star fighter, WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, moving up in weight to pursue more titles.
Jermall Charlo commended Sergiy Derevyanchenko for making his last middleweight title fight more competitive than many might’ve expected. Charlo definitely doesn’t think Derevyanchenko did enough to upset Gennadiy Golovkin, though. The unbeaten WBC middleweight champion believes Derevyanchenko deservedly is coming off a loss entering their 12-round, 160-pound championship match September 26 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Demetrius Andrade is not about to let a global pandemic come between him and his money. But if push comes to shove, the middleweight titleholder has a simple plan for mitigating the disastrous effects wrought by Covid-19.
Golden Boy Promotions President Eric Gomez, who promotes Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, says the Mexican star is willing to entertain a 2021 trilogy fight with Gennadiy Golovkin. They collided in 2017 and 2018, at the middleweight limit of 160-pounds.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum strongly believes that World Boxing Organization [WBO] welterweight champion Terence Crawford is the big name opponent that Manny Pacquiao requires for a major pay-per-view blockbuster.
Watching footage of his brutal battle with Gennadiy Golovkin has only further convinced Sergiy Derevyanchenko that he did enough to win it. Golovkin defeated Derevyanchenko by unanimous decision in their 12-round fight for the then-unclaimed IBF middleweight title, which was stripped from Canelo Alvarez. Judges Frank Lombardi (115-112) and Eric Marlinski (115-112) scored seven rounds apiece for Golovkin, but judge Kevin Morgan gave Golovkin credit for only a one-point win (114-113) on October 5 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Last week, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach stated in an interview that he could see his star fighter, WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, move up in weight to challenge one of the best fighters at the higher weights.
A group of five or six fighters are in the running to be Canelo Alvarez's next opponent in September and right now Golden Boy Promotions does not have a favorite. The only thing they assure is that now there are no conditions to think the Mexican superstar will face Gennadiy Golovkin in September or at all in 2020.
Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach has presided over eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao’s career for the better parts of two decades. At the age of 41, Roach said Pacquiao could be eyeing a title in a record ninth division against one of boxing’s all-time great middleweights.
