After a long spell of inactivity, Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin is all set to lock horns with WBA champion Ryota Murata. However, boxing spectators are much more eager for the fight he will take after sharing the ring with Murata.
The two-time middleweight champion is reportedly set to box undisputed super-middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez, in September 2022. Even though that fight requires both men to win their first matches of 2022, ‘GGG‘ has started the trash talk.

Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin previous fights
‘GGG’ has faced only one loss and a draw in his entire professional boxing career. Both came against his arch-rival, Canelo Alvarez. In 2017, the Mexican star challenged the then WBA (super), WBC, and IBF reigning champion Golovkin.
Both boxers exchanged heavy leather in what proved to be an extremely close bout. However, controversies followed the decision in the end.
This led to the ‘fight of the year 2018.’ The rematch was very different as both fighters raised their game. However, Canelo Alvarez emerged as a superior boxer in the end.
These blistering bouts were spectacular and everyone who watched those fights remains keen to see the duo trade blows for the third time.
Chaos on Canelo’s next opponent gave a lifeline to this trilogy. And, it could be on, but Canelo must beat Jermall Charlo and Golovkin must beat Ryota Murata first.
