“We have interesting fighting styles, thanks to which the fans will get an interesting spectacle,” said Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) ahead of Saturday's unification of the IBF and WBA middleweight belts with Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs).
“Thanks to a healthy lifestyle and a good regime, I can still fight at a high level. I have been repeating for a long time that unification of the titles is my main goal, so I am a little worried before this duel. It's too early to talk about what will happen next, now my attention is focused exclusively on Murat. Others challenge themselves in an interview to fight harder and harder, only then nothing comes of it. So it's hard to plan for the future. There have already been quite a few upsets in the history of Japanese boxing, and Murata is really capable of a lot, ”added GGG, champion of the International Boxing Federation.
“Knowing Murata from sparring and his previous fights, we can give the best fight this year. Abel Sanchez and Jonathon Banks are completely different coaches, but they both taught me a lot, and I owe a lot to both of them. Despite everything, I am happy with the current composition of my team,” added Golovkin, who, mainly due to the pandemic, has been inactive since December 2020. At the same time, the break in Murata's performances lasts even longer.
