Kell Brook Is Biggest Test Of My Career- Gennady Golovkin

 

Gennady Golovkin feels Kell Brook will provide him with his biggest test despite the welterweight's huge step up in weight division for their September 10 bout. Brook is moving up to middleweight for the first time in his career to take on Golovkin in a battle of two unbeaten fighters at the O2 in London, an event which will be broadcast on Sky Sports Box Office.

Golovkin, who has won 32 of his 35 bouts by knockout, says he was surprised by Brook's size at Thursday's news conference in New York and he is not going to be taking anything for granted. Golovkin will be fighting in England for the first time in his career when he puts the WBC, IBF and WBA Super titles on the line against the man from Sheffield.

He said “I know it will be an amazing atmosphere with huge fans - true fans - and it is the biggest test for us. I am very excited. I know London fans are huge fans, and that I respect. They understand boxing and I want to bring the UK fans a big, dramatic show. Just seeing him for the first time now, it was very interesting for me. I respect Kell - he is a man and he is a true fighter.”
