Regarding the championship battle between IBF middleweight champion Gennati Golovkin and WBA middleweight champion Murata Yuta, it has been a long time, and the two sides have been scheduled to start a showdown in December, but in order to adjust the state, both boxers have decided to have an adjustment match before the official meeting, but according to the latest sources, for many reasons, Golovkin and Murata Yuta have no intention of making adjustment matches, and they will directly meet at the end of the year.
World Boxing News quoted a source as saying: "Given that boxers need to stay healthy in December and no one wants to risk injury, it seems unlikely that Golovkin and Murata will make adjustments individually." ”
According to previous reports, in addition to adjusting the state, but also in order to heat up the big battle in advance, the adjustment match of Golovkin and Murata Yuta was arranged to be staged at the same time, and it was even rumored that it might be played in the same place in the way of the main and vice main matches, such as Golovkin playing the main game, Murata Yuta playing the vice main match, but at the moment it seems that this plan has been foiled.
Golovkin was scheduled to schedule a resize for him this fall, around the end of August or early September, with the potential opponent being Brazilian boxer Eskiva Falcao (28-0, 20KO), who won the silver medal in the 75 kg category at the London Olympics in 2012 and was only DAZN, who signed a live contract with Golovkin, and they wanted Golovkin to play against WBO middleweight Champion Demites Andrade, but in the back-and-forth, Golovkin simply canceled the reshuffle.
Golovkin's cancellation of the temporary adjustment match is basically expected, since he lost to Canello Avarez in the second game in 2018, his state has deteriorated with the increase of age, so he has become cautious in the game and the selection of opponents, which is also due to related reasons.
It is understood that the battle between Golovkin and Murata Yuta will be arranged to be held at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan, where the battle between Shoya Inoue and Nanito-Donaire was staged.
It is also understood that because Golovkin and Murata Have not appeared on stage for a long time, the two teams also agreed to cancel the original adjustment match after consideration, because they were worried that their boxers would have an accident in the adjustment match, and it was better to directly fight the big battle.
If he takes the stage in December, it will be the first match of the year for the 39-year-old Golovkin, whose last confrontation was on December 18 last year, when he knocked down camille Szemetta, a forced challenger from Poland, in Florida four times, and before that, Golovkin was away from the field for 14 months due to the impact of the "pandemic".
Compared with Golovkin, the 35-year-old Murata Yuta has been away from the field longer, and the last match was on December 23, 2019, the first defending battle after regaining the world championship, easily defeating Canadian boxer Steven Butler, so counting, Murata Yuta has not played for two full years until December this year, and he does not know how he is in the state when he fights against Golovkin?
