Gennadiy Golovkin Eyes World Boxing Presidency, Leaves Door Open for One More Fight

Former middleweight king Gennadiy “Triple G” Golovkin. Hasn’t fought since the conclusion of his heated trilogy with Canelo Alvarez on September 17, 2022. But his presence in boxing is arguably growing, not fading.

Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs), now 42, has shifted his focus to the amateur side of the sport and is bidding for one of its most powerful positions. Last month, he officially declared his candidacy to become President of World Boxing, with the vote set to be decided Sunday in Rome.

Despite his expanding role outside the ropes, Golovkin isn’t fully closing the door on an in-ring return.
