By Ian Aldous: On Saturday November 2nd, Curtis ‘Kryptonite’ Stevens (25-3) steps up to the plate to challenge Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin (27-0) for his WBA and IBO world middleweight titles at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, live on HBO. The chance to make himself a true player in the division and pound-for-pound rankings lay ahead if he can pull off the win. Last week Ellen Haley of Main Events kindly mediated an interview with Curtis on my behalf.

Undefeated with twenty-four knockouts in his twenty-seven wins shows that he could prove to be the toughest test a fighter can face – elite amateur pedigree and devastating knockout power. “He’s a great fighter overall I believe.

Both possess extraordinary power, and Stevens for one, has made it quite clear of his intentions on the night. His plan is to usurp the young lion Golovkin, claiming he plans on killing GGG when they meet.
