    Default Gennady Golovkin v Ryoto Murata

    Gennady Golovkin eyes New Year's Eve bout with Ryoto Murata as Triple G plans to unify division

    Gennady Golovkin has given up any hope of fighting bitter rival Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in a winner-takes-all trilogy bout because the Mexican wants to unify the super-middleweight division in 2021.

    Kazakh Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KO's) has instead set his sights on Ryoto Murata, according to World Boxing News.

    The IBF middleweight world champion is set to defend his belt against an as yet unnamed opponent this summer, but it appears he already has unification plans of his own as he eyes a high-stakes shootout with the WBA world titleholder.

    Golovkin lost his WBA (Super), WBC and IBO middleweight titles to Alvarez in September 2018 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a majority decision which was deemed highly controversial at the time, almost a year to the day when the pair shared a thrilling draw in their first meeting.

    Their fates have always seemed inextricably intertwined, but they've gone their separate ways over the last few years.

    Golovkin has picked up wins over Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Kamil Szeremeta while Alvarez has beaten the likes of Sergey Kovalev and Callum Smith.

    It was just a couple of weeks ago that Billy Joe Saunders was stopped in the eighth round by Alvarez, a fight in which Golovkin's presence was noticeably absent from ringside.

    Back then, Alvarez admitted he would be happy to run it back with Golovkin, but talks regarding a possible bout with IBF super-middleweight champion Caleb Plant appear to have picked up steam once again.

    Thankfully, there's no shortage of options for 'Triple G', as the middleweight division is one of the most talent-rich weight classes in the sport.

    Jermall Charlo and Chris Eubank Jr have both expressed sincere interest in taking on Golovkin.

    But it seems like the coronavirus pandemic has all but ended any hope of Golovkin or Alvarez fighting again anytime soon.

    ‘I just heard this crack’ – George Groves recalls sparring a prime Gennady Golovkin and being left struggling to breathe

    Gennady Golovkin broke George Groves’ rib during a sparring session which left the Brit struggling to breathe.

    The former middleweight kingpin is one the biggest punchers pound-for-pound in boxing and had a fearsome aura around him during a sensational run between his debut and 2017.

    Hailing from Kazakhstan, the 39-year-old has never been stopped, or even knocked down, in boxing and has the power to make anyone’s life a living hell.

    Former super-middleweight world champion Groves found this out firsthand when he sparred him at The Summit up in Big Bear Lake under the watchful eye of Abel Sanchez.

    Despite the offer of protection, ‘Saint George’ refused and ended up with a hospital bill to boot.

    “So Gennady wears this body protector,” Groves told Boxing Social. “It’s like an American football body armour thing.


    “It’s this thin plastic thing and it goes around your ribs. And he said, ‘Do you want one?’ And I said. ‘No, I’m not a f****!’

    “He was like, ‘Are you sure? Because Gennady wears one?’ And I said no because it would get in the way.

    “So I did the first spar and I did okay, but I’m breathing heavy and I’m struggling a bit. I think we did three/four rounds and that was enough, he had other sparring partners there.

    “This was his last week of sparring before he is fighting and I was fresh off the plane from a KO loss in front of everyone.

    “So I said I had to do a bit better next time. He asked again, ‘Do you want the body belt?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not a m****, I don’t want it.’

    “So we get involved and I am doing much better this time; I’m catching him, I’m sticking it on him a bit but I’m conscious of the unfitness so I don’t want to gas out.

    “Gennady is just brilliant, he has got that phenomenal power and it must all come from his lats, but he punches down on you and it’s a touch-touch-whip.

    “I’m a wily old dog by now, I’ve been in there with everyone and you can’t do touch-touch-whip to me and get it odd – but he was!

    “I didn’t even know it was coming and it wasn’t like I could get the arm there in time but he got through it. I didn’t even see it coming.

    “So I probably get a little bit carried away, right hand happy I used to be, and then he goes touch-touch-whip and I just hear this *crack*.

    “There’s no help being 10,000 feet above sea level, but I can’t really get much air and the air that is coming in is actually really hurting. So I come back to the corner and was like, ‘I think he has broken my rib’.

    “I didn’t want to get out, but there isn’t really a lot in this for me right now! So we said, ‘Abel, he’s hurt his rib.’

    “And he said, ‘Okay, do you know where the hospital is?’”

    Gennady Golovkin announces return to the ring after year-long absence

    IBO and IBF world champion Golovkin will face Ryota Murata in Japan on his return to the ring at the end of December, as he looks to unify the middleweight division

    Gennady Golovkin will return to the ring in a unification bout against Ryota Murata at the end of the year.

    The fight has been in the pipeline for a long time but has now been officially confirmed for December 28 in Japan.

    Golovkin will bring his 'Big Drama Show' to Murata's home territory with the fight taking place on the border of Tokyo in Saitama.

    And the 39-year-old is hoping to add another belt to his collection with the possibility of a potential trilogy match against Canelo Alvarez looming.

    "I am really excited to be bringing the Big Drama Show to Japan, a country where boxing is very popular," said Golovkin. "Ryōta Murata has been an outstanding champion.

    "It is going to be a special night when we meet in the ring to unify our titles. We are going to give the fans a great fight.

    Golovkin's last ring outing came back in December last year when he defeated Kamil Szeremeta comfortably, dropping his opponent four times before his seventh round retirement.

    The Kazakh fighter only has one blotch on his record after losing in a historic rematch with Alvarez.

    An explosive first meeting was touted as a modern-era classic after the middleweight champion was left frustrated, being held to a controversial draw in 2017.

    And the second meeting ended in another close decision with the pound-for-pound king gaining the narrow nod over Golovkin by majority decision with the Kazakh fighter forced to regroup.

    He has since began another win streak, defeating Steve Rolls before reclaiming world champion status by dethroning Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

    But his latest test will come against a relatively untested opponent who has already suffered two defeats during his 18-fight career.

    Who wins on December 29- Gennady Golovkin or Ryota Murata? Let us know your prediction in the comments section below.

    Although the Japanese fighter is ready to take control of the fight and believes he has prepared his whole life to face Golovkin.

    "I feel that my entire amateur and professional boxing career has been a preparation for this fight against Gennady Golovkin. This fight will determine my place in the middleweight division and boxing history," said Murata.


    "Gennady Golovkin has long been the standard-bearer of the middleweight division. To me, he is still undefeated.

    "I have the highest respect for him. It has been almost two years since my last fight, because of the pandemic, but I have put that time to good use, working very hard with my trainers on improving my physical conditioning and adding more power to my punches.

    "I am so proud Japan is hosting this fight. It is a great honour for me."

    Eddie Hearn is set to offer the possibility of facing Golovkin next to Alvarez who has just become undisputed champion at 168lbs after defeating Caleb Plant.

    However the Mexican could opt to switch back to light-heavyweight with Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol keen to challenge the pound-for-pound leading fighter.

    Golovkin has had a great career, but he must still feel shortchanged. Coming up, he was avoided by everybody for years and years. He was the best middleweight in the world for ages before he was actually recognised as such.

    He then gets completely robbed by the judges (at least once, possibly twice). Then get gets frozen out all over again until he is ancient.

    No Ward, No Charlo, No 168.

    Now he is just waiting for the trilogy.

    He did beat a tiny Kell Brook though..

    Did he ever unify a division?

    Are we going to ignore the missed potential?

    Interesting fan fiction. He was offered tons of better fights he refused. He was even stripped because he chose to fight a guy coming off 2 losses and a retirement rather than his mandatory FFS. He hid from Ward, “we will never fight Charlo” can go on and on.

    Dude has nobody to blame for the horrible names on his CV but himself
