Ryota Murata

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.

Negotiations are underway for a unification duel between the IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) and the WBA champion Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs). The fight is to take place in the spring in Japan.

Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) became the super WBA middleweight champion. Previously, the Japanese had a regular World Boxing Association belt, and Saul Alvarez was the super champion.

Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) is one of the potential contenders for IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs), who is expected to return to the ring at the turn of April and May. The fight with the Japanese, who owns the regular WBA belt, may take place in Tokyo.

Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs), 2012 Olympic gold medalist and regular WBA middleweight champion, is a very serious candidate for a meeting with  Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs).
