Jonathon Banks said that Gennady Golovkin (40-1-1, 35 KOs) in his next fight will definitely be better than in his last two performances. The American has been working with the reigning IBF middleweight champion for a year now.

“I like talking with my wards about tactics. I’m a person who analyzes everything, and together with the boxer we come to the correct idea of ​​a fight,” Banks said.

“In boxing you can’t miss too many punches. Gennady had a very difficult fight against Sergiy Derevyanchenko. We must draw conclusions from this and act differently. We need just a few small changes. Golovkin will be faster and more active in his next battle. We are working on it,” Banks said.

It is still not known exactly when and whom Golovkin will fight next. It is expected that the fighter from Kazakhstan in his next bout will meet the unbeaten Pole Kamil Szeremeta (21-0, 5 KOs), who is the mandatory contender for the title of Golovkin. The fight was tentatively scheduled for early June, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, it is likely to happen later.
