adminLONDON. — The world’s top-ranked middleweight Gennady Golovkin wants another fight in Britain after stopping Kell Brook and is targeting a unification bout with Billy Joe Saunders. Golovkin defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles with a fifth-round stoppage at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday. Golovkin’s punishingly accurate blows took their toll on Brook, whose corner threw in the towel.
Brook was taken to hospital to be treated for a suspected fractured right eye socket.
Golovkin, whose World Boxing Association (WBA) belt was not on the line, now wants to fight Brook’s fellow Briton and World Boxing Organization (WBO) champion Saunders before moving on to Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in a year’s time. — AFP.
