Gennady Golovkin, the undefeated middleweight champion, says that he eventually wants to fight Floyd Mayweather.
Golovkin, who is fighting Marco Antonio Rubio on Saturday, said he wants to fight Mayweather before he retires. He said that it’s been a dream of his for a while.
“I think that’s Gennady’s dream fight [against Mayweather]. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t happen, we’re still going to have a great career,” said trainer Abel Sanchez, according to BoxingNews24.
However, since Golovkin is a few weightclasses above Mayweather, that prospect appears unlikely. Mayweather would likely ask Golovkin to come down in weight to fight him at 154 lbs.
Mayweather is slated to retire soon, but he said he might sign a new contract to extend his career.
