GENNADY GOLOVKIN smiled as he spoke of feeling 'extremely healthy right now' and referring to retirement.
His fight against Ryota Murata, originally scheduled for December 29th in Saitama but now rescheduled due to Japan closing their international borders, looks like it will be.
GennadyGolovkin said she feels 'extremely fit right at the moment'
Golovkin confirmed the news and said that he was deeply disappointed by the delay.
"But the safety and health of the public must always be our priority. I look forward returning to the ring to fight against Ryota as soon as possible.”
This decision was taken amid the worldwide spread of Omicron, a new variant of Covid-19.
SunSport spoke with Golovkin, a boxing legend who is currently the IBF's middleweight champion.
After another intense training camp at Big Bear California's altitude, the 39-year old seems far from done in a sport that he has so long dominated.
Golovkin, who turns 40 this April, stated: "I'll look closely at myself.
"I feel extremely fit right now. I feel great. All my career decisions will be made based on how I feel." I feel amazing right now."
GGG made his American debut in 2012, stopping Pole Grzegorz PROKSA, now 37, in five rounds.
His terrifying power instantly frightened the 160 lb middleweight division.
It set off a string of 12 knockouts over 13 fights. Danny Jacobs, 34 won on points.
He then fought in a series of two fights against Canelo Alvarez (31), which was fraught with controversy.
GGG was disappointed to leave with a draw in the 2017 original, before losing the razor thin match a year later.
The Kazakh danger man has fought 3 times since then and reclaimed his middleweight crown.
The boxing legend is still a two-time champion, with 36 knockouts in his 41 wins. However, he wants more, and that's because he has yet to unify against Murata (35 on ice).
Golovkin stated that all his decisions would be considered the right ones by him, regardless of whether he wants to continue fighting or not.
"I will consider that the right decision, if it is the best decision for me to end my career, then that will also be the right choice.
"I'm happy right now with my career's progress and what's happening, and I know that whatever I do, it will be right for myself."
Golovkin had been through yet another horrific camp at Big Bear Lake before moving to Florida.
The difficult mountain runs, the heavy lifting in winter cold, and many rounds of sparring were nearly all over until the recent postponement.
Triple-G may have to start all over depending on the new date.
However, this would be a good fit for the father-of-two feared as he has admitted to enjoying the quiet and peace of training camp.
Golovkin said: "It's just for me to get away form my family and focus on the training process. I have a large family at-home."
To be honest, it can be distracting. There are details and nuances that we all approach each opponent differently.
"Even though there is a foundation for training, which is always part of the camp,"
