Michael Zerafa (30-4, 19 KOs), ranked No. 1 in the WBA middleweight division, said he offered Gennady Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs), who is the world champion according to the World Boxing Association in the weight up to 72.5 kg.
The fight should take place in March in Australia. Before that, Zerafa will have one more fight - on November 23, he will meet with the undefeated Danilo Creati.
The GGG team has not yet commented on this news. Recently there was information that in the next two fights Golovkin will make mandatory defenses of his IBF and WBA championship belts, and his opponents will be Esquiva Falcao and Erislandy Lara. However, it is possible that the plans of the boxer from Kazakhstan will change.
Gennady Golovkin lost on points to Saul Alvarez in his last fight. For the 40-year-old boxer, this was the last performance under a contract with the DAZN streaming service.
