Where to watch Gennady Golovkin

THE stakes are high when Gennady Golovkin boxes Danny Jacobs on March 18 at Madison Square Garden in New York. There will be no rematch clause for Golovkin, the WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight champion, when he takes on the skilled, rangy Jacobs.

โ€œThere is no rematch clause in this fight. This is for all the marbles,โ€ said promoter Tom Loffleur. โ€œItโ€™s all or nothing. That’s the definition of two gladiators getting into the ring.โ€

He continued, โ€œWhen you have two fighters entering the ring with 35 consecutive knockouts [together] on their resume thatโ€™s a huge statement of their punching power.โ€

Golovkin gave no indication that he was concerned, even though Jacobs might be the most difficult challenger heโ€™s faced yet. The Kazakh called Jacobs the โ€œbest opponentโ€ he could have.

โ€œI respect,โ€ Gennady said. โ€œItโ€™s huge, a huge chance for me, for us, for everybody. I believe Daniel he is ready for this fight.โ€

He appreciated the magnitude of the fight. โ€œThis is the dream, the dream for everybody. Very important for us who is number one, number one in the middleweight division. Not tomorrow, not the future,โ€ he continued. โ€œI promise youโ€™ll have an amazing show, history show, amazing step for us.โ€
