Gennady Golovkin's next fight is set for May 16 at the Forum in Inglewood, California. His opponent will be Willie Monroe Jr. (19-1, 6 KO's). The fight will be televised on HBO.
This will be Golovkin's second fight this year. Golovkin will be looking to extend his knockout streak to 20 in this fight. Willie Monroe takes a big step up in class in this fight. Monroe won the ESPN Boxcino tournament in 2014. His only loss was to Darnell Boone, who incidentally, seems to give everyone trouble. Monroe's last fight was a 10 round UD against Brian Vera.
