Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions: "We are excited about this trip for Gennady. It has been his dream to fight in Madison Square Garden and this trip is a big step to making this dream a reality. We plan to use the same marketing campaign that we used when Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko fought in New York."
Golovkin had a very successful amateur career, boasting victories over such notables as Lucien Bute, Andy Lee, Andre Dirrell and Matt Korobov on his way to becoming a two-time world champion and winning the Silver Medal in the 2004 Olympics. As a result of his success in the amateurs and now a professional world champion, he is very popular in the Russian speaking community.
The middleweight division is very deep in talent with many great potential fights for Golovkin, including Sergio Martinez, WBC Champion Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr, IBF Champion Danny Geale, WBO Champion Dmitry Pirog and WBA Super Champion Felix Sturm, who has done everything possible to avoid fighting Golovkin. In addition to the champions, Andy Lee and Peter Quillen make for other compelling match-ups in the US.
The future looks bright for Golovkin..
