Tom Loeffler, promoter of WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) said that his fighter will next fight in December 2017. Golovkin is interested in a rematch with Saul Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KO’s), but it looks like Golovkin and Alvarez will meet only in 2018. Thus, the most likely opponent of Golovkin is the official challenger for his IBF title Ukrainian Sergey Derevyanchenko (11-0, 9 KOs).

In his last fight Derevyanchenko gain a TKO victory over Tureano Johnson (20-2, 14 KOs), and said after the fight that he would like to square gloves with Golovkin.
