A fight between WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24 KO’s) and #5 WBC, #6 IBF Curtis Stevens (25-3, 18 KO’s) has been agreed upon for November 2nd at Madison Square Garden Theater, in New York, New York, USA, according to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated
.
Golovkin’s promoters at K2 Promotions recently made a reported offer of $300,000, but that offer was turned down by Stevens’ promoter at Main Events.
It looks like K2 might have sweetened the offer to get the 5’7″ Stevens’ promoter to agree to the fight.
The fight will be televised by HBO.
This is a fight that they probably like because HBO seems to be focusing more on putting together fights that promise to be slugfests nowadays, and this one will definitely be a war for as long as it lasts.
