Golovkin: Canelo vs Khan is business fight
ASTANA. KAZINFORM - WBA, IBO, IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31KOs) is planning to be at the ringside on May 7, when Saul Alvarez (46-1-1, 32KOs) defends his WBC title against Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Sports.kz informs referring to BoxingScene.com.
"I think this is a business plan, a business fight. I thank HBO and my team because I have a true fight coming...not just my fight but a true event. And Chocolotito Gonzalez is fighting on the same day as me. This is a good gift, a good gift to people, a good bonus," Golovkin told BoxingScene.com.
The winner of the Canelo-Khan fight must face Golovkin in fall, at the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds, or risk losing the WBC title. If either fighter refuses to face Golovkin, then the puncher from Kazakhstan will become the full champion.
