Recently, the current IBF/IBO middleweight champion Gonadi Golovkin (41-1-1, 36KO) told the media that he does not need to use Sur Avarez (57-1-2, 39KO) to define his boxing career, because he has successfully defended the middleweight title 21 times, setting a record.
"A lot of boxers' careers are defined by the opponents he's played, but my boxing career doesn't need to be defined by Avarez's game," Golovkin said. I would say I've set a record defending 160 pounds – 21 times , and my KO rate is the highest. I'm sure boxing fans will remember me for this, and some people care more about these things. ”
As for his Opponent Murata Yuta (16-2, 13KO) on April 9, Golovkin said: "I knew him before and Fought together. Murata is a high-level boxer, his achievements have said it all, he won the Olympic gold medal, and now he is still the WBA Super Boxer, and he must be able to achieve such results because of his strength. Murata Yuta was able to come to this day with a fist punch. ”
