World Championship Boxing returns to the Theater at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, November 2nd as the sport's fastest rising superstar Gennady "GGG" Golovkin returns to "The Mecca of Boxing" to defend his WBA and IBO Middleweight World Titles against world ranked contender Curtis Stevens from Brooklyn, NY.
Golovkin has the highest knockout ratio of any active world champion (89%) with a record of 27-0-0 (24KO’s) and 28-year-old Stevens, 25-3-0 (18KO’s), is coming off his most impressive performance of his career.
The co-featured bout is a heavyweight title fight between undefeated contenders, Mike "The Rebel" Perez, 19-0-0 (12KO's) of Ciego de Avila, Cuba and Magomed "Mago" Abdusalamov, 18-0-0 (18KO's) of Makhachkala, Russia.

Golovkin (27-0, 24 KO) and Stevens (25-3, 18 KO) are expected to have a real war that probably won't last too long, as they're both devastating punchers in the middleweight division, really possibly the two hardest punchers at the weight. Each man has one-shot power, and while Golovkin is the big favorite, someone who can thump like "Showtime" Stevens should never be counted out.
