Golovkin and Murata to fight at the same evening at the end of summer

At the turn of August and September, the IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) will have his next fight. It is still unknown who will be the next rival of the boxer from Kazakhstan, although there are rumors in the media that Esquiva Falcao (28-0, 20 KOs) is among the candidates.

At the same evening WBA regular champion Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) will return to the ring. The Japanese has not entered the ring since December 2019, when he defeated Stephen Butler.

In December, the fight of Golovkin and Murata may take place. Negotiations on this fight have been going on for several weeks, but Murata is also considering the possibility of facing Saul Alvarez.
