Although fans are still expecting Gennady Golovkin to fight a curtain bout to bring his career to an end. But according to his promoter, Tom Loeffler, there's a good chance we've seen the Kazakh god get his final fight in the boxing ring.
In an interview with ESPN in the United States, Tom Lover told reporters: "I have always hoped for a final competition, whether it will be held in Saudi Arabia, the current hot Middle East, or in Kazakhstan, the hometown of 3G, but unfortunately, with the Kazakh National Olympic Committee officially announcing that Gennady Golovkin will be the new president of the country's National Olympic Committee in February, the possibility of this farewell competition has become very slim." ”
"You know, this position is a very high position in Kazakhstan - he is not only the head of Olympic boxing in Kazakhstan, but also the head of all sports in Kazakhstan. So, this full-time job will involve all of his energy. Tom Loveller added.
The 42-year-old has a 42-2 professional record and a 1-draw record, with 37 knockout wins. He used to be a middleweight hegemon, and especially after his debut on HBO live in 2012, Gennady Golovkin has been a guarantor of ratings.
"Gennady Golovkin's performances have always been dominant, and there are few holes in his technique, both in terms of his offensive and defensive abilities. When I first met Gennady Golovkin, his coach Abel Sanchez spoke highly of him, saying that he had never landed such a heavy punch in training. Under the tutelage of Abel Sanchez, Gennady Golovkin has earned a string of world titles. His lethality was confirmed in one game, whether it was against Matthew McLean or Daniel Gill at Madison Square Garden. ”
Tom Loeffler also emphasized in the interview that Gennady Golovkin is one of the few fighters in his career who is willing to constantly challenge high-quality opponents.
"I've worked with many world champions, but none of them have had as hard a time to find opponents as Gennady Golovkin. In fact, he always has multiple world titles in his hands, and he should have more opponents, but most of the calls we make are rejected by the promoters of the other party. Tom Loveller told reporters.
"There were many times when we offered as many offers to a challenger as Gennady Golovkin, the reigning champion, which was unheard of at the time. But we had to pay more just so that they could compete with Gennady Golovkin in a happy way. When it comes to the past, Tom Loveller is somewhat helpless.
Since his trilogy bout with Saul Alvarez in 2022, Gennady Golovkin hasn't played again. When Gennady Golovkin refused to defend his title and gave up his IBF and WBA middleweight world titles, Tom Loeffler realized that Gennady Golovkin was saying goodbye to the boxing ring.
Considering Gennady Golovkin's current status, Tom Loeffler thinks Gennady Golovkin should not make any official retirement announcements
Now it looks like Gennady Golovkin will continue his career, he will still contribute his abilities in the field of sports, but not in professional boxing. Tom Loveller told reporters.
