After his dominating points win over Delvin Rodriguez on Friday night in Chicago, Erislandy Lara and his reps weren't shy about expressing their desire to face WBA middleweight titlist, Gennady  Golovkin.

So have they dialed up K2 Promotions?

"No, I haven't heard from his camp," said Tom Loeffler, the Managing Director of K2 Promotions, who has masterfully handled the career of 'GGG' the past few years.

"We're still trying to figure out the next date and what the next opponent for Gennady. Lara had his win on Friday but we're just going through to see who's the best opponent for Gennady at this point."

But given the current politics that exist - Lara is affiliated with Al Haymon and Premier Boxing Champions - is this match-up even realistic?

Loeffler answered - "I mean from our side we're pretty neutral. We do have an exclusive contract with HBO. I haven't approached the topic yet with HBO, if they would even approve someone like Lara. But if that becomes more of a serious conversation, that's something we'll certainly approach them with."

The clear goal for Golovkin is to consolidate the middleweight division. Currently he has the IBO, WBA and the WBC interim titles in his possession.

"Gennady's focus is to unify the titles. That would be his top priority at this point, to fight another champion at the middleweight division,"explained Loeffler.
