The kazajo returns to the fighting after an inactivity that extended from last year
Oneย of the stars is back.ย Gennady Gennรกdievich Golovkinย will step back into the ring for a stellar day.ย The Kazakh (41-1-1) will faceย Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs)ย on December 28 in the land of the rising sun in a match that will makeย DAZNย officialย in a short period of time.
According toย Mike Coppinger, a journalist specialized in MMA, itย has been a fight for unification with a job of several months.ย Golovkin,ย who has only been in two bouts in two years, has been down for a long time waiting to close out the trilogy againstย Saรบl ‘Canelo’ รlvarez.
In his last fights,ย ‘GGG’ย earned a close win overย Sergiy Derevyachenko for the IBFย middleweightย beltย .ย He subsequently defended him againstย Szeremetaย in December 2020.
For his part,ย Murataย has a similar staging.ย In his last bout, the Japanese middleweight bounced back with aย 5th roundย TKOย against Canadianย Steven Butler in Yokohama.ย The victory in 2019 served to retain his secondย WBAย worldย championship.
The fight withย Golovkinย will serve to move away the potential trilogy againstย ‘Canelo’.ย The previous two ended in a draw, while in the second battle the Mexican won with a victory by decision of the judges.ย Since that day, the Kazakh seeks to tie the scores with his great rival.ย His loss toย รlvarezย is the only one of his career.
