Gennady Golovkin hits out at "indecent" rival Canelo Alvarez over drug-test row

Gennady Golovkin has hit out at rival Canelo Alvarez's "indecent" behaviour after the pound-for-pound king branded their rival personal.

The Kazakh star is set to face Japanese fighter Ryota Murata in a unification clash in April - and victory should set up a trilogy bout against Alvarez in September. A war of words was ignited by Alvarez who blamed Golovkin for their rival becoming personal and accused the middleweight champion of "talking s***".

Golovkin has now fired back at Alvarez by claiming that he has not said one bad word about his failed drug test and has just followed the "proof". “I’ll be honest with you. If he believes it was something I said and that it was personal, where has he been all these years? Three or four years already," Golovkin told Ariel Helwani.
