The biggest match ever in the history of Japanese boxing is likely to be realized. Boxing WBA world middleweight super champion Ryota Murata will face Gennady Golovkin (Kazakhstan), a former three-group unified class champion and current IBF world class champion, on December 28, this year in Hyogo and Kobe. rice field. US sports media “ESPN” reported on the 22nd (23rd Japan time), and on the 25th, some Japanese sports newspapers also admitted that Teiken and Akihiko Honda, chairman of Murata’s gym, are proceeding with negotiations. I reported that.
As of May this year, the columnist of “ESPN” had already announced the first report that “the two camps have agreed” on the realization of a unified battle between the two, but it seems that the acceleration has increased here. After that, it is expected to be officially announced as soon as the approval of the video distribution service “DAZN” that has the relay right of Golovkin is obtained.
There is still some fluidity in the big match that is being adjusted in the corona wreck. However, vaccination is steadily progressing in Japan, and the fifth wave is heading toward calming down, and the government has begun to make adjustments to lift all priority measures such as the declaration of emergency and prevention of spread. If we take this background positively, the Murata camp has no choice but to be cautious at this point, but inwardly, we would like to realize the Golovkin match at the end of this year. This is because there is no limit to the grace left.
The long-awaited match against Golovkin, but for Murata it will be a “severe battle”
Needless to say, Golovkin is a middleweight superstar known by the nickname “GGG.” Boasting a record of 43 races, 41 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 36 KOs, the only black star in his life was “Canelo” in September 2018, by a close margin of 0-2 to the current three-group unified super middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (Mexico). Only one loss that resulted in a “suspicion loss”.
