In this video interview with our buddies at Fight Hub TV, Gennady Golovkin talks a few minutes to chat following a workout session, and talks about how he’s feeling under a new trainer in Johnathan Banks.

Golovkin on his training session:

“People need this little bit sweaty, because just, I can’t bring all my secrets or my stuff. You know, If you want to watch real fight, please, don’t miss my fight. Just I show my fans, you know, I healthy. I still, you know, good.”

On him looking strong and fit:

“Grrrr! Thank you, my team.”

On looking quicker and more mobile than he has been in the past:

“Like a cat. Like a tiger…This is boxing. This is boxing stuff, you know, [Banks] brings new skill, you know, like a new level for boxing….He like boxing and I like boxing. Why not? We try, not more power, more punches, we bring a lot more everything.”

On being more than just a seek-and-destroy fighter, and if he believes this change will show that he does have superior boxing skill:

“Marcos, you know, I know what he needs — I want. You know I real understand what he need, just I try. I don’t have a lot of time, just maybe like two weeks and I try, I try. It’s very interesting for me and I’m very happy because I’m still healthy, you know, just, I try. I believe we bring to show.”

On if he’s excited to show a different kind of style in the ring:

“I still more smart, you know, more smart. Just, you know, I have six fights. Just come on, take your time, guys, take it easy. Don’t worry. I go back, just, you know, I’m very happy.”

On being 37-years-old in a young man’s sport and if he still physically feels like young fighter:

“I feel still my power, I feel like everything like 10 years ago and today. Like, I don’t feel like terrible…I feel the same.”
