By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s next fight against #3 IBF, #7 WBC, #8 WBA, #15 WBO Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) has been agreed to and also approved by HBO for April 23, according to Dan Rafael. The Golovkin-Wade fight will likely be staged at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
It’s obviously not a fight that Golovkin and his promoters at K2 wanted. They were hoping to get a bigger fight against the likes of Chris Eubank Jr. or Billy Joe Saunders. However, the International Boxing Federation took their ability to choose away when they ordered Golovkin to face Wade, the replacement mandatory challenger.
By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is expected to face unbeaten #3 IBF Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) on April 23 at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The fight hasn’t been announced as of yet by Golovkin’s promoters at K2, but Wade, 25, is said to be the likely opponent for Golovkin’s interim fight on 4/23 on HBO.

By Scott Gilfoid: WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) says he’s interested in facing either IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin or #1 WBA Chris Eubank Jr. for his next fight. It’s unclear which of the two of them the 26-year-old Saunders will be facing. 
By Dan Ambrose: 44-year-old Shane Mosley believes that WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) has the skills, speed and punching power to fight unbeaten Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) on even terms if/when the two of them face each other one of these days. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs’ trainer Andre Rozier reportedly believes that Jacobs has the goods to defeat IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “Triple G” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) when or if a fight between the two of them ever takes place in the future. 
By Dan Ambrose: According to Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, his fighter IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) will not be negotiating with WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) about which weight the two of them will fight at later this year when/if their fight takes place. 
By Al Classico: Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29KOs), aka ‘The Miracle Man’ has really cemented himself as one of the legitimate middleweight challengers to Golovkin with his emphatic 1 round stoppage of fellow top middleweight Peter Quillin in December 2015. It’s hard to gauge whether that KO was the result of Jacob’s skill level or due to a lapse of concentration and a slow start from Peter Quillin but it was likely a culmination of both. 
By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and his promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions have reportedly started negotiations to fight at West Ham’s Stadium in the UK against one of the following British fighters: James DeGale, Billy Joe Saunders or Chris Eubank Jr. 
By Al Classico: Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KO’s), The undefeated WBO champion threw a real spanner into the works when he defeated Andy Lee in late 2015 and derailed a potential, higher profile Lee- Golovkin showdown this year. With the defeat of Lee and the acquisition of a ‘world champion’ belt, his name was immediately thrust into the conversation as a next up Golovkin opponent.
