By Eric Baldwin: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) says he respects his next opponent welterweight Kell “Special K” Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) for their fight on September 10, and he sees him as not an easy fight for him. Golovkin says that the 30-year-old Brook is a big guy, and he sees him as bigger and stronger than Amir Khan, who recently was stopped in the 6th round by middleweight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
Golovkin says he’s ready to fight Canelo at any time, but he doesn’t think he’s serious with his creation of a new weight category at 155lbs. Golovkin says that Canelo doesn’t respect boxing with the way he’s come up with a different weight class for his fights.
