Gennady Golovkin has been a force at middleweight for several years but hasn't been able to secure a bout with a high-profile opponent. One name that does interest Golovkin's promoter is 51-year-old Bernard Hopkins.
Reigning WBA and IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is set to fight Dominic Wade in an HBO Boxing main event on April 23rd, which will run completely secondary to UFC 197: Cormier vs. Jones 2 as far as combat sports is concerned. Golovkin is angling to unify all of the 160 lbs belts (WBA/IBF/WBC/WBO), which includes a potential matchup with Mexican star Canelo Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in the fall.
