Although IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin is in contact with WBA "super" middleweight champion Murata Yuta and is looking forward to a showdown in December this year, the famous British promoter Eddie Hearn said that he will try to match Golovkin and WBO middleweight Demites Andrad, who recently successfully defended the title after defeating challenger Liam Williams, resulting in a record of 30 wins and 18 KO opponents.
Hearn hopes the 39-year-old Golovkin agrees to play against Andrad this summer before playing against Murata in December. Hearn doesn't understand why Golovkin only wants to play one game in 2021, because if he competes with Andrade before he competes with Murata, then he will get two big battles, but Hearn ignores a simple truth, what if Golovkin plays Against Andrad first and loses?
Herne said: "Williams is not the battle That Andrade wants, Andrade only wants another title, he is eager to compete with Gennady Golovkin, and Jimar Charlo. Listen, we worked with Golovkin and I felt he should play against Andrad, but Golovkin said he planned a showdown with Murata in December. ”
Hearn added: "Golovkin can play Against Andrad in July, I will try to match the two sides, and then Golovkin will fight against Murata, and in 2022, Golovkin can also play against Charlo, when a monster will be born in the middleweight, and he will become the undisputed champion." Charlo has now chosen Juan Montil to defend his title, why would he do that? It's embarrassing, Charlo could give up the fight, and I could have arranged for him to play Against Andrad in July. ”
In addition, Hearn also said that in addition to Golovkin and Charlo, he may also match Chris Ubank Jr. to challenge Andrade. Hearn said: "Little Yubank has a powerful engine, he's not going to stop, if Andrader plays against Ubank Jr. in London, England, it's going to be a decent game and we'll consider Ubank Jr., who has a good chin and will put a lot of pressure on Andrade. ”
It now seems that Hearn's attempt to match the battle between Golovkin vs Andrad is just wishful thinking on his part, especially before the confrontation between Golovkin and Murata. Golovkin certainly did not want to risk going head-to-head with Andrad, and apart from his uncertainty of winning, he would not have received a considerable income.
Golovkin has 3 games left in his partnership with DAZN and he should be able to keep those 3 games well, that is, to focus only on safe opponents until he regains the opportunity to play against Carnello Avarez three times.
Although Andrad recently defeated Williams, unfortunately through the last few games, his footsteps in the second half of the competition became slow, it seems to be a sign of decline, Hearn as the promoter of Andrade (also the promoter of Golovkin), certainly do not want to wait until his boxers are completely in decline, so try to arrange a big battle for Andrade, Hearne even said that Andrade is already "vulnerable", in order to attract Golovkin and Charlo to fight with them, but neither of them showed enough interest, Charlo seems to be loyal only to the WBC, and as for Golovkin, as mentioned above, he cannot take any risks before fighting Murata, especially against Andrade, so Andrade can only seek a breakthrough elsewhere.
