The red-hot hearsay that’s at present circulating round numerous boxing web sites is one that claims former middleweight king Gennady Golovkin has been supplied an enormous struggle with Terence Crawford, the struggle to happen in Saudi Arabia. Now, nothing in any respect is official as of but, and will by no means change into, however a message on social media, posted by BoxRaw, reads as follows:
“Struggle hearsay of the day!
Some reviews that Gennady Golovkin has been supplied a struggle in opposition to Terence Crawford in Saudi Arabia.”
Golovkin is now 42 years of age and he has not fought since dropping a choice to Canelo Alvarez of their third struggle, this again in September of 2022. GGG, 42-2-1(37) final gained a struggle again in April of 2022, when he stopped Ryota Murata in 9 rounds in Japan. Some time again, Golovkin did say that he’s “not retired.”
“I by no means introduced my retirement, and it’s not in my nature to announce issues like that,” he stated earlier this yr. “I feel to me, life is moments, and if a possibility arises or one thing comes up, sure, we would see Gennady Golovkin within the ring once more.”
So, has one thing come up within the type of an supplied struggle with pound-for-pound star and, like GGG, a future Corridor of Famer, Crawford? Who is aware of if there’s any substance to this hearsay. But when the struggle does occur – Crawford Vs. Triple G a while subsequent yr, seemingly in Riyadh if it truly does occur in any respect – we’d all for positive tune in. And simply think about what a narrative it might be, how additional Golovkin’s greatness would skyrocket if he truly managed to defeat “Bud” and take his unbeaten document!
That is getting too far forward, for positive, however now we have seen stranger issues occur in boxing, as now we have seen extra surprising fights come proper out of the blue. Simply final week Saudi cash man Turki Alalshikh stated he believes Crawford is fascinated by a struggle with Canelo and nothing else. However may a struggle with Golovkin curiosity Crawford?
If a struggle between Crawford and Golovkin did occur a while in 2025, would it not show to be a aggressive struggle, a horrible mismatch, or maybe one thing in-between?
