Gennady does not plan to end his career
Kazakhstani boxer Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) commented on the upcoming fight with the undisputed world champion in super middleweight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs).
Golovkin stressed that regardless of the outcome of the fight with Canelo, he does not plan to end his career, but intends to hold at least one fight at home.
“For me, fighting Canelo is nothing personal. We have been waiting for this fight for a long time – and finally it will happen.”
“After the fight with him, I’m not going to end my career. I have certain plans – at least I have to fight in my homeland, in Kazakhstan.
Alvarez and Golovkin will fight on September 17 for the title of undisputed world champion in the second middle weight category. The fight will take place in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena.
After the fight, Golovkin will have 5 days to decide which category to stay in. If Gennady decides to defend the middleweight title, he will face Cuban Erislandy Lara.
The first fight between Canelo and Golovkin in September 2017 ended in a draw. A year later, the Mexican won by split decision.
In May, Alvarez suffered the second defeat of his career, losing to Russian Dmitry Bivol in a fight for the world light heavyweight title.
Golovkin fought his last fight in April, defeating Japan’s Reta Murata via TKO to unify two middleweight titles.
