Hearn: I believe Golovkin will stop Murata

The head of the promotional company Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, believes that the IBF world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) will defeat the WBA Super title holder ahead of schedule Ryotu Muratu (16-2, 13 KOs) in their duel, which will take place on April 9.

“I want to be involved in the biggest fights with Canelo Alvarez. Our plan is for him to end his career with Matchroom. As long as Golovkin remains the same - and I believe he is - I believe that he will stop Murata. I want Canelo and Golovkin to look great as it will spin the biggest fight in boxing.

Golovkin's fight against Sergey Derevyanchenko was incredible, but it took place two years ago. The fight against Kamil Sheremeta is not one of those that you go into too motivated, but Golovkin stopped him. However, everything is tested in practice. If this is not the former Gennady Golovkin, then he will be beaten in Japan. But I expect him to look really good in this fight," Hearn was quoted as saying by BoxingNews24
