One of the finest middleweights in boxing, Gennady Golovkin, will step inside the boxing ring on Friday, December 18th. He will take on Kamil Szeremeta to defend his IBF middleweight title.

At 38, ‘GGG’ has cemented himself as the best in boxing fans’ eyes. But he still feels he has a lot left in the tank and remains unsatisfied with whatever he has achieved; for he demands more with time.

In an interaction with FightHype, Golovkin opened up about his career highlights and what he wishes to pull-off post a Friday night win.

“I have not achieved everything that I wanted to achieve. I first need to win on Friday and then after that, I will start looking into other opportunities and other options that I need to look into in order to have more achievements in my career,” said the 38-year-old.

With an astonishing 83.33% knockout ratio, ‘GGG’ is one of the most feared boxers of this era. He has been a fan favorite since his debut and has been building on his legacy ever since.

Possessing a champion attitude, Golovkin is keenly focused on the Friday night bout rather than dwelling on his past or thinking beyond. He is taking his challenges one at a time.

Is Gennady Golovkin hinting at a trilogy with ‘Canelo’ Alvarez?

Out of his glorious boxing run, ‘GGG’ just has one fleck, and that’s his loss to Saul Alvarez. The duo fought twice, where the first contest ended in a controversial draw and the second was won by Canelo through a majority decision.

Although neither fight went in Golovkin’s favor, fans perceived him as a champion for his conduct over the course of those 24 rounds.

‘GGG’ has been expressing his ardor to fight Canelo ever since he was humbled by the Mexican in 2018. Many boxing stars and fans believe that Golovkin won the first fight against Canelo, but he was robbed of the W. The rematch sold almost 1.1 million PPV buys, making the fight one of the most elite battles of the sport.

Canelo himself has a fight scheduled on December 19th against Callum Smith, and ‘GGG’ will fight a day prior to him against Kamil Szeremeta. If both of them get past their opponents, there’s no way a trilogy won’t be on the cards for mid-2021.
