Gennady Golovkin believes he is nearing his retirement as his trilogy with Canelo Alvarez draws ever-closer.
The Kazakh star will do battle with long-term rival Alvarez for the third time on September 15 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Golovkin has already fought Alvarez twice with the first fight ending in a controversial draw, before he came up short in a majority decision defeat in their rematch.
Golovkin is now 40-years-old and has completed most of his ambitions in the sport having only been defeated once by Alvarez. And he has admitted that he has no personal ill-feeling to Alvarez who he sparred before they became rivals. “I’m going to retire soon anyway," Golovkin told The Sun. With his help or without his help.
