Tom Loeffler, the promoter of the WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs), stressed that the Kazakh team is ready to start organizing a fight against the Ukrainian challenger for the IBF belt Sergey Derevyanchenko (12 -0, 10 KOs).

"We are very much ready to meet the mandatory IBF contender,” said Loeffler on the duel with Sergey Derevyanchenko. “We simply ask to give us a 30-day period for the negotiations. And if we fail to agree, then there must be a promotional tender. Then the teams will have several months to organize the battle. Forcing to hold the defense until August 3, the IBF is prevented from conducting a full-fledged promotion of the fight."

"Golovkin first agreed to a dishonest purses distribution. But after Alvarez twice failed the doping tests and was removed, Gennady asks to revise the terms of the deal. He wants and deserves more than 35%. But this does not mean that he does not want to fight. He wants".
