By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like the chances of WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24 KO’s) fighting Britain’s Martin Murray (25-1-1, 11 KO’s) are about zero for November, as HBO wants the Golovkin vs. Murray fight to take place in the United States rather than in the UK, according to Steve Kim.
Steve Kim said on his twitter “I’ve asked reps of GGG, if they would face Murray in the UK. I’m told that HBO prefers he fight in the States in prime time.”
In other words, the Golovkin-Murray fight isn’t big enough for it to take place in the UK. If it were, HBO would definitely televise it just like they televised the recent Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler fight.
