British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18KOs) has once again ripped out at IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs).

IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) was expected to have an easy time on Saturday, but there were moments of brilliance for IBF welterweight champion Kell 'Special K' Brook (36-1, 25KOs), who moved up by thirteen pounds to face Golovkin at the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds.

Kell Brook's world middleweight title dream ended in a devastating fifth-round stoppage defeat by the fearsome Gennady Golovkin at London's O2 Arena. Stepping up from welterweight to challenge one of the greatest middleweights in history, he did his reputation little harm but, as expected, was gradually out-boxed and over-powered by the defending champion.

Gennady Golovkin retained his WBC and IBF middleweight titles after overcoming Kell Brook's stunningly daring high-wire act in five remarkable rounds at the O2 Arena. Brook, who remains the IBF welterweight champion despite going down to a first career loss, stepped up two divisions to face the sport's most fearsome operator in Golovkin.
