Billy Joe Saunders: Gennady Golovkin talks in progress, says promoter Frank Warren
Billy Joe Saunders would fight Gennady Golovkin "in his garden", says the Briton's promoter Frank Warren.
He told BBC Sport talks have taken place with the Kazakh fighter's camp over a unification fight between the two undefeated middleweight champions.
Saunders, 28, could face Golovkin in June, instead of his scheduled fight with fellow Briton Martin Murray.
Golovkin was due to fight Saul Alvarez on 5 May in Las Vegas, but the Mexican withdrew from the rematch on Tuesday.
Alvarez is awaiting the outcome of a hearing into an adverse drug test.
WBA, WBC and IBF champion Golovkin, 35, said on Wednesday that Alvarez's replacement would be named soon, adding he would still be defending his titles on 5 May in Las Vegas.
That date would be too early for Saunders, who is unable to spar until 14 April after picking up a hand injury, which caused the postponement of his WBO defence against fellow Englishman Murray until 23 June.
"We have had conversations [with Golovkin's camp] and will speak later today and see where it goes," said Warren.
"Provided Golovkin would be willing to fight in June, Bill would be available.
"I understand they are looking at 5 May in Vegas, but I am not sure if they will find an opponent or sell a show out in such a short space of time.
"I am hoping they will take the fight, then we can do it here or go to the States, but that will be their call," added Warren, who said a fight in England would "have to be a stadium fight".
Warren says the fight would have to be agreed "sometime this week".
He said: "We need to know soon and not let it drag on. There is a short window to do it and we need to get a decision.
"In the meantime we have not postponed the Murray fight, but if this one comes up in between obviously we would consider it, provided the terms are OK. Bill would like to fight Golovkin, there is no doubt about that.
"Bill said he would fight him in his garden."
Warren said a contract was agreed for the two to fight last year, but Golovkin was instead rested before his first fight with Alvarez in September, which ended in a controversial draw.
"Golovkin has stated many time he wants to fight Bill. Bill wants it, Golovkin says he wants it. I do not know if Golovkin's management wants it. There should be no problem making it - on paper it is a great fight."
Despite Golovkin's record of 33 knockouts from 37 fights, Warren believes Saunders could beat him.
"This is a fight that will define his legacy and I genuinely believe he can win. But he has to be 100%, I am not having him get in there with a hand injury."

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Eubanks Jr has just thrown all of his pens in the bin and is sitting in the corner of his big old lonely mansion with the curtains closed and the phone unplugged whilst rocking backwards and forwards hoping that no one contacts him to offer him the fight...what he doesn't realise is that he is completely irrelevant and there is no way that GGG would even consider him.
JR would go to war with GGG..that would be a great fight!
Prospective opponents saying they can fight GGG in June, July, or September are forgetting one thing. How about the process GGG has been going through training and getting ready to peak on May 5th for the Clenbelo fight? So, let's just cross that date off the calendar... I think three weeks from next Saturday I might have an opening?? It's not quite that simple.
Golovkin should try 168 and see what's like. Let him fight David Benavidez or Gilberto Ramirez
Anyone really. Just stay busy and make sure he has 2 big fights to see the year out. I don't mind if it is not a big opponent this time. GGG can get a quick stoppage, have a short break and really try and finish the year on a push to the sun. It's unfair on him and his opponent to just fight at such short notice. This isn't the 1950's, though it would be nice if it was.
Now Fenster focus on the most important important part of my post since you are my promoter hurry the hell up and call the Cinco de Mayo Commission I am already down to 181 lb I will be ready to go
Voted Jacobs, I think he deserves a rematch.
Of the guys I heard had put their hand up (Ramirez, Andrade and O'Sullivan), I say Ramirez, he's got a title at the weight above.
I wonder how keen Charlo is now to drop Centeno?
Saunders
Ramirez
Jacobs
Charlo
Derevyanchenko
Murata
Andrade
O'Sullivan
They live, We sleep
I like Jacobs but too tough with a few weeks. Would like to see it in December though. Stop Saunders in 6 in September and then do battle with Jacobs again in December. That would really leave Canelo in the dust for good.
Apparently GGG has a problem finding an opponent for Cinco De Mayo. Only the bottom tier guys are willing to fill the date. No Andrade, no Saunders, no no-one.
What should happen?
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
