Former two-time unified champion Gennady Golovkin appears to be walking away from the world of boxing according to Mexican legend Erik Morales.

Originally the man that Morales trains, undefeated 160-pounder Jaime Munguia, was hoping to step inside the squared circle with Golovkin this summer, but according to Morales, it sounds like GGG will be on the shelf for an “indefinite period of time.”

“I don’t think (we are looking for that fight)”, Morales said in an interview with IZQUIERDAZO. “What I understand, what I was told by the (promoting) company, is that Golovkin told them that he is leaving boxing for an indefinite period of time.
