The current IBF/IBO middleweight champion Gennadi Golovkin (41-1-1, 36KO) and nearly 20 people arrived in Tokyo, Japan, earlier today to make final preparations for the 160-pound united battle with WBA MiddleWeight Super Champion/2012 Olympic champion Tsuyoshi Murata (16-2, 13KO) on April 9. The official website of the boxing aircraft carrier will provide satellite ultra-clear live broadcast of this big battle (source signal, no delay).
The organizers of this match are quite serious, after all, the A corner is the former world boxing P4P king Golovkin. Organizers chartered a floor for The Golovkin team at a luxury hotel in Tokyo, which cost nearly $400,000 and needed to be temporarily quarantined under local regulations.
Golovkin's basic deposit this time is $12.3 million, and Murata's is $4.1 million, which is a good income for both boxers, especially this is the highest honorarium for Murata to date.
Before the 2017 battle with Avarez (57-1-2, 39KO), Golovkin had only won a maximum of $5 million, which was against Kyle Bullock (40-3, 28KO), and he only took more than 3 million against Jacobs. But after playing Avarez twice, Golovkin now earns more than $10 million per game. However, Avarez's challenge this time is more than 40 million yuan in basic margin than Wall (19-0, 11 KO), plus DAZN-PPV share.
At present, the boxer with the highest remuneration in the boxing world is undoubtedly Avarez, and the second and third should be Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22KO), Joshua (24-2, 22KO), Usik (19-0, 13KO) After beating Joshua, his current value should also rise a lot, and Golovkin's current value should be second only to these people.
Former WorldWeight Champion Challenger and former defeated Britishman Matthew Marklin (35-6, 22KO) said: "Now it depends on how much fuel Golovkin has left." I think he's been in decline for quite some time, but it's not a lot of sudden decline, it's gradually declining. Golovkin is about to turn 40, and if he is really out of shape, Murata can beat him. However, I am still optimistic about Golovkin, who has enough strength to defeat Murata Yuta, Who is a tough boxer who was really strong during his time. ”
Regarding the possible three battles between Golovkin and Avarez in September, Matthew Macklin said: "I think Avarez has not fought Against Golovkin for so long, because he is deliberately delaying time. In a battle between the two, Golovkin was hacked. World War II was fair, the two fought very evenly, and whoever won could be judged. But now that these two games are a long way off, Avarez has been improving over the years, but Golovkin has been regressing. In Avarez's current form, I find it difficult for Golovkin to compete with him, and few people now look favorably on Golovkin defeating Avarez. ”
Former world-famous lightweight boxer/International Boxing Hall of Famer American Ray Mancini (29-5, 23KO) commented on the first two battles of Golovkin and Avarez, saying: "I am now a big fan of Avarez. A few years ago, I actually didn't approve of him, and Avarez and Golovkin (41-1-1, 36KO) should have lost the battle, and no one thought he had won. In the second game, I still feel that he lost to Golovkin, just very close. Golovkin has had a very low density of games in recent years, and I don't think he can compete with the current Avarez. Golovkin is also getting older, and Avarez has been improving, subduing everyone else. ”
For Avrez vs Bivor, Ray Mancini said: "This game is very suspenseful, Biver will be a big trouble for Avarez, I am optimistic about Bivor because he is a strong light heavyweight boxer. As we all know, Avarez is good at picking opponents, but for those boxers who are good at playing in the middle and long distance, Avarez is laborious. Also, in my opinion, the one who poses the greatest threat to Avarez is David Benavidez (25-0, 22KO). Benavidez was young, fast, fierce, and flexible, and Avarez had always disliked this mobile boxer. Avarez's previous opponents were not strong in moving, but they were superior to Wall's moves, unlike Kovalev (34-4-1, 29KO). Biwall could stand up to Avarez, he was tall and strong, and I was looking forward to this big fight. ”
