Golovkin may face Mexican Gilberto Ramirez - Bob Arum
ASTANA. KAZINFORM - According to Boxingscene.com, WBA (Super) middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin will visit a fight between WBO super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez from Mexico and Gevorg Khatchikian from the Netherlands on Friday night at the Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum believes that if the Mexican boxer wins, he will consider stepping into the ring with Golovkin, Sports.kz reports. "Tom Loeffler and I have had several serious conversations about pitting these two undefeated warriors against each other next year. But it will only happen if Gilberto can win tomorrow night, thus preserving his mandatory challenge for the world title, and then beating WBO world champion Arthur Abraham," Bob Arum said. "That's a lot of pressure to put on most fighters' shoulders but Gilberto seems to thrive on it. He has said all along that he only wants to fight the best, even if it means fighting Abraham and Golovkin back-to-back. That's the same mindset great Mexican champions before him had and why they were, and are so popular," Arum added.
