WBC, WBA, IBF middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin was unusually blunt during a media workout at The Summit High Altitude Training Facility in Big Bear Lake, California.

[On Kell Brook] “Right now my focus is on Kell Brook, he signed the contract and that’s who I’m ready to fight, I have a great deal of respect for him. This is my first fight in England and I’m very excited to fight in a new country.”

[On WBO champ Billy Joe Saunders] “Yes I want to unify the middleweight division titles but I don’t know if WBO Champion Billy Joe Saunders will fight me.”

[On moving to 168] “Move up to 168 for what? Who is going to fight me there? Which champion at that weight will agree to fight me for a big fight? Right now I make 160 easily so I’m comfortable here, look at me I’m regular size middleweight.”

[On other possible foes] “Just too much talking about fighting me, Canelo, Eubank, Saunders, Froch they are acting like clowns with no respect for the sport. I’m here now, sign the contract and fight me, any of them, doesn’t matter which one.”
