Golovkin surprised at Brook’s size

By Allan Fox: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) says he was shocked at how big welterweight Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) was when the two of them stood next to each other on the stage at their New York press conference this week. Golovkin perhaps was expecting to be standing next to a normal welterweight that was smaller than him.

Instead, Brook was the same size if not bigger than Golovkin. Brook is a little overweight and not the in shape fighter he is when he’s fighting. His promoter Eddie Hearn expects him to be at 167 when he faces Golovkin on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England.

By Chris Williams: Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) won’t have the chance of fighting for unbeaten Gennady “GGG” Golovkin’s WBA middleweight title because the World Boxing Association won’t be sanctioning the September 10th fight as a title match-up due to the 30-year-old Brook never having fought at middleweight during his career. Brook is moving up in weight from the welterweight division to challenge Golovkin at the O2 Arena in London, UK.

If Golovkin wants to have his WBA title on the line for the fight, then he’ll need to request permission from the WBA to do so, according to Fight News.

Golovkin still with no written agreement from Golden Boy for Canelo fight

By Dan Ambrose: Despite Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya saying that his fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be facing Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in the Fall of 2017, there still isn’t a written agreement from Golden Boy to guarantee that the fight between the two middleweights will take place at that time.

De La Hoya wants the Canelo-Golovkin fight to marinate more until next year, and he also wants Canelo to have more time to get used to fighting at middleweight. It’s not quite clear how Canelo is going to get comfortable fighting at the full weight of 160lbs in the middleweight division with him moving down to 154 to challenge WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith on September 17.

By Dan Ambrose: Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions hasn’t given up on the idea of matching his fighter IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) against contender Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs). Loeffler was unable to get an agreement from Eubank Jr. and his father Chris Eubank Sr. for a fight in September this time around, but he’s still interested in getting that fight made.

Loeffler says he’d like to put the Golovkin-Eubank Jr. fight together for December after GGG takes care of business against welterweight Kell Brook on September 10.

Brook said that he doesn’t care if Golovkin chooses to try and box him, because he says he’ll his jab to get the better of the Kazakhstan fighter.
