The WBA Super middleweight world champion (up to 72.6 kilograms) Japanese Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs) is experiencing a feeling of fear on the eve of the unification bout against the IBF and IBO world champion of this division Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (41- 1-1, 36 KOs), reports bbabo.net.
However, Murata is not at all afraid of the legendary opponent, known for his puncher prowess.
"I'm not afraid of a meeting with Golovkin, but another postponement of the fight. I'm ready," Ryota said.
Their fight will take place on April 9 in Japan, although it was originally supposed to take place in December 2021, but was postponed due to coronavirus restrictions in the country. The new date was officially announced on March 3rd.
In case of victory over the Japanese GGG in September will hold a trilogy with the Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs), who in May will have to fight with the Russian Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) for his WBA belt in light heavyweight category.
