Promoter Eddie Hearn (Mathroom Boxing) predicted the outcome of the middleweight unification fight between IBF and IBO world champion Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) from Kazakhstan and Japanese WBA super champion Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) ), reports bbabo.net correspondent.
Their duel will take place on April 9 in Saitama (Japan), where it was originally supposed to take place back in December, but was postponed.
It became known the start time of the fight between Golovkin and Murata for three titles in Kazakhstan
“As long as he is still that Golovkin and I believe he is. I think he will stop Murata. I want both of these guys (Golovkin and Canelo) to look great in their fights because it will prepare us to the biggest fight in boxing.
Golovkin's fight with Sergei Derevyanchenko was incredible, but that was two years ago. The fight with Kamil Sheremeta was not one of those that are highly motivating, but Golovkin prematurely delayed it. But the ring will show everything. If this is not the same Golovkin, then he will be beaten in Japan. But I expect him to do really well in this fight," Hearn told Fighthype.
Golovkin made a prediction for the fight against the “super champion” for three titles
Recall that Golovkin has not boxed since December 2020, when in the United States he knocked out the Pole Kamil Sheremeta (21-1, 5 KOs) and defended his world title for the record 21st time. In turn, Murata fought for the last time in December 2019, successfully retaining his title in a fight against Canadian Steven Butler (28-3-1, 24 KOs).
In case of a victory over the Japanese, GGG will return to the ring in September. Golovkin has already signed a third fight with Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs), who will face Russian Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) in May for his WBA light heavyweight belt.
