News about Gennady Golovkin

Michael Zerafa, a 14-month veteran of the ring, wants to remind fight fans that he no longer has the opportunity to become the world champion. The Melbourne middleweight has been off the radar since defeating Italian Danilo Creati in Sydney in November 2022, not by choice.

Another sporting year is coming to an end, with the Paris Olympics and football's European Championship as two of many highlights. On the other hand, the world's best performers are still getting richer and more valuable, earning tens of millions of dollars, whether on and off the field, ring or course. The influx of Saudi Arabian billions into football and golf really began this year.

CHARLOTTE LAS VEGAS: CANelo Alvarez says people who believe he is declining are'stupid,' and that he will prove he is'still at the top' during his 'fight with Jermell Charlo this weekend. On Saturday night, the Mexican superstar will put his four super-middleweight belts against his younger Charlo sibling, who is stepping up two divisions from light middleweight. It's Canelo's third straight defense of his 168 pounds crown, after victories over John Ryder and Gennady Golovkin in the United Kingdom. It's also the first time in the four-belt period that two reigning undisputed champions collided.

SIMON JORDAN: The Glazers are undoubtedly a scapegoat for Manchester United's woes, but the club's problems are more widespread than the club's name. Although fan indignation at the barefaced profiteering United's owners has some remembrance, supporters are delusional if they believe that a reform at the top would be the panacea for one of the club's key issues. Namely, football has evolved, and United are no longer dominant. So, while 'Glory, Glory Man United' chants have been replaced at Old Trafford with 'Glazers Out,' the club's true story is that they are no longer the only club with the financial resources to help them rack up multiple titles in the early Premier League years.

After beating Liam Smith, Chris Eubank Jr. cut out a number of potential future opponents, one of which would be a'absolutely major' fight, according to Eddie Hearn. In a rematch on Saturday night, the 33-year-old wanted his revenge against Smith, putting on a commanding performance before he was carted to the ground during the tenth round of their competition at the AO Arena. Eubank Jr. called out a number of fighters during his post match interview after his good show to deter his rival.

BY SAM BROOKES: BY SAM BROOKES: Introducing Canelo Alvarez has been one of boxing's most difficult problems in recent years. Getting the better of him in front of 60,000 Mexican supporters in Guadalajara's hometown could be considered nigh on impossible. In May, Britain's John Ryder faced a tough challenge. He may not have started off on a bad beat either. Ryder's nose was busted open by a vicious uppercut in the second round. A thunderous straight right hand led him to the canvas three rounds later. The writing seemed to be on the wall.

Canelo Alvarez's match with Jermell Charlo has been confirmed, with the two undefeated champions expected to meet in Las Vegas on September 30. The Mexican superstar will defend his four super-middleweight belts against his younger brother, Charlo, who is stepping up two divisions from his light middleweight, where he reigns supreme. Following victories over Britain's John Ryder and Gennady Golovkin, Canelo's third straight defense of his 168lbs crown has been a success. It's also the first time in the four-belt period that two reigning undisputed champions meet.

In a highly awaited unification match at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on July 29, Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) will face welterweight opponent Terence Crawford (339-0, 30 KOs) in a highly fought confrontation. Specifics of the agreement, such as purse sizes, have not been revealed, but the title match is on the track, giving the game its most awaited match since Gennady Golovkin first faced Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in 2017.

When the sport's proclaimed king was overwhelmed with the country's return home, he faltered on his homecoming in Mexico, a weekend that held so much hope for boxing fell flat. Canelo Alvarez returned to Guadalajara on Saturday night for the first time in a dozen years, and although it was a great occasion for himself and his faithful followers, the pound-for-pound giant did not cap it off in style by dismantling Ryder. The Brit, who was not a pushover, caused him a lot of trouble when he went the distance with the feared Mexican on his home turf.

Canelo Alvarez (left) fights in Mexico for the first time in nearly 12 years this weekend as he defends his super-middlweight titles against John Ryder (right). The 32-year-old, who last defended his belts in September 2022 after defeating a 40-year-old Gennady Golovkin on points, will put his WBC, WBA, WBA, and IBF championships on the line. Canelo, who underwent surgery on his hand after the win, is hoping to face light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, who defeated him adamantly last year.

XCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY MATT DAIVES: John Ryder spoke to Mail Sport ahead of his showdown against Canelo Alvarez on Saturday, claiming he has the potential to be the undefeated super-middlweight champion. For the first time in nearly 12 years, the 34-year-old flies to Mexico, where Canelo will face opponents on home soil for the first time in nearly 12 years in front of about 50,000 knockout fans. 'All the pressure is on Canelo,' Ryder said. 'I am not being pressured on me.' It's his first return to his hometown in a ten-years. I'm coming off a career-best year, while he's likely to be out of a career-worst.'

With the fight of a lifetime, John Ryder of Islington will be rewarded for a long and honorable ring career. Ryder will face Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed world super-middleweight title in the Mexican's first fight in his homeland for nearly 12 years. The 34-year-old Ryder's tenacity in scaling the boxing ladder the difficult way, mainly via small halls, has brought him to the tumultuous occasion of Canelo's homecoming. On May 6, a football stadium in Canelo's home city Guadalajara holds an exhibition.

Canelo Alvarez could face Englishman John Ryder in a homecoming contest for an undisputed super middleweight championship match. According to an ESPN study, the fight will take place on May 6th, with Jalisco, Mexico as the likely location. It will be Alvarez' (58-2-22) first match since September, when he defeated Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy match.

Chris Eubank Jr returns to the ring in ten months this weekend as he faces domestic rival Liam Smith in Manchester. Of course, he was supposed to fight in October against Conor Benn at a sold-out O2 Arena, but the match was called off at the eleventh hour after his opponent failed two positive drug tests in the build-up. Eubank Jr. only participated once in 2022, and inactivity has been a problem for him in recent years, as he defeated James DeGale in the ring four times in February 2019.

If 'GGG' lives up to his promise to compete for two middleweight championship belts, Zerafa will compete with Jeff Horn and George Kambosos Jr in a big title fight. Golovkin is 40 and coming off a humiliating loss to Canelo Alvarez (pictured right), but the Aussie will still be a big leap in class thanks to his chin, ringcraft, and his incredible punching ability.

The grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jnr is just days away, but there are questions and doubts about the fact that the pair will fight if they do not break away, as well as fears over their weight. Both boxers have been pounding out different ways throughout their careers, with Eubank Jr. mainly campaigning at middleweight, while Benn has settled into the welterweight division. But they have agreed to meet each other at a 157 pounds to start this epic war. Eubank Jr will be carrying 3lbs under the middleweight threshold, while Benn is gaining 10lbs from his usual fighting weight.

In 2017, and 2018, the two boxers were involved in two tumultuous bouts, with their first meeting ending in a draw, while their second meeting went to Canelo by majority vote. Both fights were on HBO PPV, with the first bringing 1.3 million dollars and the second gaining 1.1 million. However, according to boxing reporter Dan Rafael, their third battle, which was broadcast on DAZN, fell short of those figures, with only 550,000 sales expected.

Canelo Alvarez returned to winning ways on Saturday as he boxed his way to a unanimous points victory over Gennady Golovkin to bring an end to their trilogy. The first two contests between the pair featured debatable decisions by the judges, with many fans predicting Golovkin to win at least one of them, but there was no doubt who was the better man on the night. However, Canelo was still far from his best. He had been on a roller coaster up to light-heavyweight to top Sergey Kovalev before crashing out the super-middleweight division in less than a year.

Eubank Jr has confirmed that if he fights below the middleweight maximum of 160 pounds, he will be cut 40% off his best results. However, he does not appear to be concerned about this. On Sunday, he celebrated his 33rd birthday, and with fewer than three weeks remaining before fight night, some may believe him to be sticking to a strict diet. However, he posted a video of himself on Instagram and took big bites out of two separate desserts, while his plate had the word '60%' drizzled on it with chocolate sauce.

After being defeated by Canelo Alvarez, Kazakhstan's president phoned Gennady Golovkin in the ring to remind the Kazakhstani boxer that he is still the 'national champion.' On Saturday night, the middleweight world champion was defeated after lifting the weights to 1688 lb. Fans were then confused as Golovkin took a phone call just moments after the final bell rang. Despite being defeated at the T-Mobile Arena, the boxer appeared smiling and in good spirits on the call.

Oscar De La Hoya took down a tweet in which he slammed Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin's trilogy fight, as well as his sluggish sluggish performance in Las Vegas. On Saturday night, Canelo and Golovkin met for the third time after two thrilling competitions in 2017 and 2018 that resulted in contentious decisions by the judges. The match struggled to live up to the hype, with Golovkin unable to act as much for the majority of the match, while Canelo boxed his way to a dramatic win. De La Hoya was terribly dissatisfied with the fight and expressed his dissatisfaction on Twitter later.

It wasn't the Thrilla in Manilla, where Muhammad Ali began their unholy trilogy as he died just as Joe Frazier was recovered when practically blind. When the Gypsy King eventually knocked the Bronze Bomber into the middle of next year, it wasn't episode three of Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder. However, it was a fitting enough end to a rivalry that was electrifying in its first two parts and open enough in its unanimous decision to conclude the case without fear or regrets. On Saturday night, there was no sin in this town. At least not in the T-Mobile Arena.

Zulu (pictured at left with Ludacris), a long-serving music executive and producer of the legendary Atlanta rapper, was wounded and rushed to a hospital with two others who were also wounded by gunshots in the Buckhead neighborhood of the city. Zulu, whose real name is Ahmed Obafemi, was identified as a suspect in the June 26 gunfight, which took place just before midnight outside a popular strip mall on Peachtree Road earlier this month. Artez Jamil Benton, a 23-year-old gunman, was shot and dead in his back, with his lawyer now arguing that his client acted in self defense after being accosted by the deceased and three other suspected criminals. In a statement released by Zulu's attorney, Gabe Banks of Banks Weaver, repeated the allegations just days after police named Zulu a suspect in Benton's death and were able to release a warrant for his detention. According to APD, Zulu turned himself into police at the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday, who then charged the music mogul with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon during a murder conviction, and plain battery. Jordan took to social media to repeat those sentiments, dismissing Banks' self-defense claims as a legitimate claim. Sharing a copy of Banks' statement with a caption that emphatically ready 'Facts!!! In Los Angeles following George Floyd's assassination of George Floyd in 2020, actor Jordan - who was involved in Black Lives Matter protests, expressed concern about the situation.'

Following their triple bout in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Gennady Golovkin has said that he and Canelo Alvarez will be back to being colleagues. Golovkin was looking to defeat his opponent for the first time after only receiving a draw in their first meeting before losing a majority decision in their rematch. Nonetheless, Canelo was convincingly defeated this time around, with all three judges delivering the Mexican superstar a unanimous decision win. Following the final bell, the two fighters embraced, and Golovkin took to Instagram to bury the hatchet with Canelo.
