Well it’s not the Canelo trilogy, but we will see Gennadiy Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 KOs) back in the ring soon.
It was officially announced on Wednesday that the middleweight power-puncher will fight for the vacant IBF title against Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-1, 10 KOs), who’s getting his second crack at a vacant IBF belt in as many years. The card will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 5th... the same day as UFC 243, so that’ll be a busy evening.
Golovkin is coming off a KO win over the unheralded Steve Rolls in June, marking his DAZN debut.
