GOLOVKIN VS. DEREVYANCHENKO OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN RESULTS AND MORE
Boxing’s pound-for-pound superstar attraction Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 KOs) from Karaganda, Kazakhstan and Brooklyn-based Ukrainian challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-1, 10 KOs) tilted the scales a day before their highly-anticipated clash for the vacant IBF/IBO World Middleweight titles on Saturday, Oct. 5, live from Madison Square Garden in New York and streamed exclusively on DAZN. Golovkin, who has worn a world championship belt every year since 2010, is looking to extend that streak into 2019.
