Today, the current IBF/IBO middleweight champion Kazakh "GGG" Gennadi Golovkin (41-1-1, 36KO) told the media that he has twice defeated the first superstar in active boxing in 2017 and 2018, Sur Avarez (57-1-2, 39KO), for himself three games is not so tempting, can fight or not.
"I've beaten Avarez twice, but some people are still intoxicated with delusions and have been deceiving themselves," Golovkin said. I think the story of me and Avarez has turned over. These two games also slightly changed my view of boxing, which were, in any case, the two most significant boxing matches of the time. I am now moving forward step by step, I don't want to look too far ahead, of course, the three battles of Avarez is still a challenge, very suspenseful. Avarez and I now know each other, and maybe the three battles will be more intense. I've planned what to do at the end of my career, but I feel great now and don't want to retire. ”
Recently, Eddie Hearne and DAZN offered $85 million to invite Avarez to play against WBA light heavyweight super boxer Biver (19-0, 11KO) in May, with three matches against Golovkin in September. Bivor has fully agreed to Avarez's match, but there is probably still a lot of work to be done to reach a three-game deal with Golovkin. Golovkin is not the kind of person who is willing to easily compromise with superstars, especially at this stage of his career, there is no need to prove anything, and satisfaction with the honorarium is the first. This may also be the reason why Avirez has been unable to reach a two-game agreement with DAZN and Eddie Herne recently, because Golovkin does not compromise easily and the asking price is relatively high.
