Gennady Golovkin will face David Lemieux in a three-belt middleweight title unification bout. The fight will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York on the 17th of October.
This past month we have seen reports suggesting that a Golovkin could drop down to light middleweight and fight Floyd Mayweather, in what could be his last fight of his career. Also, that Golovkin could move up to super-middleweight and face Andre Ward, but he has opted for a 160-pound bout with Lemieux. Will we ever see Golovkin fight either of these two? Who knows. We dont think you can rule out a fight with Ward, but we now believe Mayweather is off the cards due to this fight being announced.
- Golovkin is unbeaten in 33 fights with 30 knockouts, holding the WBA and WBC interim belt.
- Lemieux is not unbeaten but has 34 wins with 31 knockouts, holding the IBF belt.
Golovkin will be looking to carry on his dominant run, which has seen him accumulate 20 straight stoppage victories and 14 title defences over the past seven years. Lemieux will also be looking extend his nine straight successive victories and finally put a stop to Golovkins unblemished record.
Both fighters have an impressive record of knockout's, so this is definitely going to be a fight to watch!!
