Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade set for April 23rd on HBO

On the same day of the stunning Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan announcement, consensus #1 middleweight Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) had his own fight confirmed for April 23rd, precisely two weeks for Canelo/Khan takes place. ESPN's Dan Rafael reported on Tuesday that agreements (and network approval) are in for Golovkin to face IBF mandatory challenger Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) on HBO at The Forum in Los Angeles, where Golovkin lives and has an established fanbase.

I'm told that Golovkin-Wade is agreed to and approved by HBO. April 23, likely at the Forum in LA.
