It’s expected that two of the biggest names in boxing will meet in the ring for a third time in September if they both come through their upcoming fights, and it’s Golovkin, defending his IBF and IBO belts against WBA ‘super’ champion Murata, who first has to ensure he keeps his full focus on the task at hand in a unification clash.
