Promoter Gennady Golovkin Tom Loeffler reacted to the fact that the team of the IBF and WBO world middleweight champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly they are trying to promote their boxer, calling them “the next Golovkin.”
“It’s funny that Top Rank, who were never big fans of GGG, are now drawn to comparisons with Gennady. Zhanibek is a strong fighter, there are no questions about that. But there is only one GGG, and the fact that they are both from the same country does not mean that he is the new Golovkin,” the functionary said.
