By Allan Fox: WBO NABO middleweight champion Brian Vera (22-6, 13 KO’s) answered in the affirmative when asked if he’d like to fight WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) next after Vera’s 10th round TKO win over former WBO junior middleweight champion Sergiy Dzinziruk (37-2-1, 24 KO’s) last night at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino, in Verona, New York, USA.
“I’ll fight Gennady Golovkin and I’ll rough him up a little bit…I would love to have that fight,” the 31-year-old Vera said to Bleacherreport.com.
Before last night’s fight, Vera said that he wants to fight Golovkin on March 30th, which is Golovkin’s next tentatively scheduled fight date. However, it’s now uncertain that Vera will be able to fight by that date even if Golovkin chose to give him the fight.
