[margaret thatcher]

golovkin vs murata and golovkin vs munguia are fights i want to see at the moment, both stylitic very fun and i think ggg's slid enough for this to be maybe the highest level he wins at

Yup these would be fun fights considering that G is old and past of his prime.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ryan Garcia vs. Luke Campbell is now heading for December 26th and Gennadiy Golovkin vs. Kamil Seremeta on December 18th. Those dates still aren’t definite, according to Mike Coppinger, but still likely.

[Rgoodwin]

When is this getting announced?

[Enlightened-One]

Kamil Szeremeta was apparently mentioned as a potential Golovkin foe for June 2019 and then Team GGG tried to schedule the bout for February, March, April, June and November of this year. This bout just keeps getting pushed back.

So I'm guessing there's a possibility the December 26th fight-date may not happen, depending on the outcome of Gennadiy Golovkin and DAZN's negotiations to restructure their deal.

[apollo creed]

I hope Golovkin gets a good deal from the negotiations with DAZN! G truly deserves that in compensation as good karma benefits because in the past he was dodged and ducked by some mw champions.

Golovkin vs Munguia / vs Murata !

[Enlightened-One]

Golovkin vs Munguia / vs Murata !

GGG will have to start facing named opposition soon (like those you’ve mentioned) otherwise DAZN won’t sanction his fights or they’ll pay him peanuts as punishment for facing non-premium opponents.

I also think his credibility among fight fans will gradually erode to the point they’ll consider him unworthy to face Canelo again.

Personally-speaking, GGG should be engaging in rematches against the likes of Derevyanchenko and Jacobs, as well as facing Charlo and Andrade, rather than facing the likes of Martirosyan, Rolls and Szeremeta.

And let’s face it GGG has already expressed his disinterest about facing Andrade and Charlo. He also isn’t going to fight Jacobs and Derevyanchenko again.

And GGG has already withdrawn from signed contracts against Billy Joe Saunders on two separate occasions, but for some reason his team feel that Martirosyan, Rolls and Szeremeta are more worthy opponents than the Brit.

Regardless, the bottom line is that GGG will inevitably have to start taking risks rather than choosing the easy path if he wants to get pid handsomely for his efforts.

DAZN simply won’t tolerate paying him big bucks to face anonymous unheralded unproven talent or has-been’s.

[apollo creed]

BJS vs Andrade should fight each other and the match should be named "The lost pens" or "We got tired to fight bums and wait Canelo"

[Ruthless-RKO]

BJS vs Andrade should fight each other and the match should be named "The lost pens" or "We got tired to fight bums and wait Canelo"

TBH, the fight got made for DAZN when they were on opposite promotions.. Now they're with same promoter, why not have the fight?

[Ruthless-RKO]

John Ryder will fight on Golovkin-Szeremeta undercard

Hollywood Nights - John Ryder is back!

Islington's John Ryder (28-5, 16KOs) is back in action on December 18 on the undercard of Gennadiy Golovkin's IBF and IBO World title defence to Kamil Szeremeta at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The 32-year-old southpaw will face an opponent yet to be named over 10-rounds at super-middleweight. 'The Gorilla' hasn't fought this year after his last fight ended in a controversial unanimous decision defeat to WBA World champion Callum Smith (27-0, 19KOs) last November. Ryder seemed to get the better of the Liverpudlian for a majority of the close fight, but the scorecards didn't reflect his valiant effort.

Ranked WBA #7, WBC #9, IBO #4, Ryder is still in contention for world title challenges and will aim to win convincingly on December 18 to enter 2021 as a top ranked contender, but a rematch with Smith is still at the very top of his wishlist. He said previously "The fight that I really want is the rematch with Callum [Smith]. In order to get myself back there then why not someone like Danny Jacobs. He’s a great fighter and I want to test myself against the best."

Also on the undercard is another super-middleweight, Ali Akhmedov (16-0); plus fellow unbeaten prospects Hyun Mi Choi (17-0-1), a WBA World Female super-featherweight champion from South Korea; 20-year-old lightweight sensation Otha Jones III (5-0-1); Matchroom Boxing prodigy Reshat Mati (8-0); and 18-year-old featherweight Jalan #'Sky' Walker (6-0).

In the main event, the Big Drama Show is back! "GGG" Golovkin, boxing's most dominant middleweight of his era, returns to the ring looking to make even more history when he attempts to make a division-record 21st successful defense of his World Middleweight titles.

Golovkin (40-1-1, 35 KOs), from Karaganda, Kazakhstan, has worn a world championship belt every year since 2010. He will be making a mandatory title defense against undefeated top-rated contender Kamil Szeremeta (21-0, 5 KOs), from Biaylstok, Poland, behind closed doors at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

The Golovkin-Szeremeta IBF/IBO Middleweight World Championship fight, and its action-packed undercard bouts, will be streamed live exclusively on DAZN in over 200 countries and territories.

"This is not just any fight. It is a fight with great meaning. I always have the greatest respect for all of my opponents. I have really missed boxing and I wanted to fight this year. The goal -- fighting for a record twenty-first successful world title defense." Golovkin said.

"I want this title for Poland and my family. GGG is a great champion, one of the best in history, but it is time for replacement. Thank you for the great chance, I must take my opportunity to be the first world middleweight champion from Poland," Szeremeta said.

“GGG is looking to make history this December on DAZN in front of a worldwide audience,” said DAZN EVP Joseph Markowski. “We look forward to launching our Global platform with an action-packed opening month featuring boxing’s biggest stars.”

“This is a historic moment for one of the best fighters of our generation. GGG has been providing explosive entertainment for many years now and we can expect a war on December 18 against Szeremeta. The Pole is the unbeaten mandatory challenger and I know the team really fancy their chances of an upset during these crazy times. As we have seen through Golovkin's career -- don’t blink and certainly don’t miss it,” said Eddie Hearn, managing director, Matchroom Sport.

Golovkin, who shares the record for consecutive World Middleweight title defenses, returns to the ring in his second reign as World Middleweight Champion. In a battle of former Olympic medalists, Golovkin regained the IBF middleweight title on Oct. 5, 2019, with a unanimous decision victory over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, a hellacious toe-to-toe slugfest that had the frenzied crowd at Madison Square Garden on its feet for the entire 12 rounds. Many considered it the Fight of the Year. Golovkin's Big Drama Show has packed iconic arenas around the world, selling out Madison Square Garden, The O2 in London, the Fabulous Forum and StubHub Center in Los Angeles, and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This will be his first time fighting in the Sunshine State. His decade-long rampage on the middleweight division has also attracted millions of viewers who have watched him on premium cable, pay-per-view, and DAZN.

Now Golovkin faces his second consecutive top-rated contender in Szeremeta. The former EBU European middleweight champion, eight years younger than the defending world champion, enters this fight like a hurricane gathering strength, having won three of his last five fights by knockout, including a second-round stoppage of Oscar Cortes on the undercard of Golovkin-Derevyanchenko. His reign as EBU European middleweight champion included victories over Alessandro Goddi, Ruben Diaz and Andrew Francillette, who had a combined record of 79-4-4 when he fought them - a winning percentage of 91%.

News of Ryder's opponent will follow shortly.
