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.
The current IBF and IBO title holder recalled the 2017-18 unified title clash and condemned his arch-rival as well as boxing fans.

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.
