推广人沃伦在星期四的一次采访中告诉iFL电视机，戈洛夫金与桑德斯6月在哈萨克斯坦的统一战谈判暂停，因为K2的洛夫勒告诉他，戈洛夫金受伤了。
沃伦说；戈洛夫金的受伤影响了谈判的进程，虽然我们已经同意了所有的提案款，但只能等待了，看看接下来会发生什么。但我们并没有放弃，一定会努力使这场战斗能够发生。
沃伦还告诉媒体；在等待戈洛夫金与雅各布斯的比赛结束期间，为了让桑德斯能够面对戈洛夫金赚到更多的钱，他们付给强制性挑战者艾维坦蒂.库尔西泽（Avtandil Khurtsidze）一个六位数的让路费。
An injury to Gennady Golovkin supposedly has held up the finalization of a Golovkin-Billy Joe Saunders middleweight title unification fight. According to Frank Warren, Saunders’ promoter, Saunders has signed a contract to challenge Golovkin for middleweight supremacy June 10 in Golovkin’s native Kazakhstan. Warren told iFL TV during an interview posted Thursday that he has been told – presumably by Tom Loeffler, Golovkin’s promoter – that an injury to Golovkin has delayed the completion of their deal. “At the moment, they’re saying that Golovkin’s injured,” Warren said. “So we’re waiting to see where this is all going. But as far as I’m concerned, we agreed [to] terms, so much so that we made an interim [title] fight, we paid a guy to step aside to enable it to happen. So we’ve done everything we can to deliver that fight. And Bill deserves it.” The Golovkin-Saunders fight was in the works before Brooklyn’s Daniel Jacobs gave Golovkin the toughest fight of his 10-year pro career March 18 at Madison Square Garden. While waiting for the Golovkin-Jacobs fight, Warren paid Saunders’ mandatory challenger for the WBO middleweight title, Avtandil Khurtsidze, a six-figure sum to step aside and allow England’s Saunders to box Golovkin for more money. Georgia’s Khurtsidze (32-2-2, 21 KOs) is scheduled to fight England’s Tommy Langford (18-0, 6 KOs) for the interim WBO middleweight title April 22 in Leicester, England. Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs), who’ll turn 35 on Saturday, didn’t mention an injury in the aftermath of his narrow victory over Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs). Oscar De La Hoya, whose company promotes Canelo Alvarez, said the week after Golovkin-Jacobs that if Golovkin went through with a fight against Saunders on June 10 that it would prevent Golovkin from securing a long-awaited showdown with Alvarez in September. De La Hoya expressed concerns about Golovkin getting injured or cut against Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs). “The Golden Boy” also contended that if the IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC champion fought Saunders on June 10, it wouldn’t afford enough time to properly promote a pay-per-view event the magnitude of Alvarez-Golovkin. An Alvarez-Golovkin fight is contingent, too, on Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) beating Mexican rival Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (50-2-1, 32 KOs, 1 NC) on May 6 in Las Vegas. “We’re not gonna know till after May 6th what’s gonna happen,” Warren said. “It’s all up in the air at the moment. You know, we’re trying to resolve it.” Warren made it clear, however, that Saunders has not delayed the completion of deal for a Golovkin-Saunders fight. “He wants that fight,” Warren said. “We have a contract sitting there for that fight. It’s still sitting there on the table. |
