Gennady Golovkin appears ready to get in action and go against any contender on his way back to the ring. Following a successful title defense via RTD over Kamil Szeremeta, ‘GGG’ either needs to defend or unify his title against other champions.
Hence, it can put him against two big names in the middleweight division. First, Jermall Charlo who holds the WBC belt, and then WBO titlist Demetrius Andrade. While these undefeated champions appear to be alluring matchups, Golovkin can also opt to face Canelo Alvarez in a trilogy thriller.
That said, Golovkin’s new trainer Johnathon Banks has connected with ES News to reveal their upcoming plans. Although he didn’t take any specific name, it appeared as if the IBF middleweight champion is ready for everyone.

“He [Gennady Golovkin] can’t wait to fight. I am looking forward to him to fight. I don’t care who he fights, I just want him to get an opponent so, he can fight. Triple G said he don’t care who he fights, let’s just get the contract done. Get an opponent in the ring so he can fight.
“That’s all he wants,” said Banks.
However, when asked about Jermall Charlo, Banks didn’t verify the matchup. He claimed Gennady Golovkin to be ready but didn’t speak about the contractual and business side of the bout. So, 39-year-old ‘GGG’ needs to make a steady decision at what seems to be the dusk of his career.

While Demetrius Andrade (30-0) and Jermall Charlo (31-0) are way more active, they can be tough challengers for Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1). Moreover, the middleweight division needs to unify the titles with four different world champions aligned. Hence, we can see the top-tier figures collide with each other soon. It would also open the way for several fighters to retain themselves at 160 lbs or move up to 168.
