Boxing: Golovkin to face Jacobs on March 18

Author: Agencies

LOS ANGELES: Kazakhstan’s Gennady Golovkin will take on American Daniel Jacobs to unify the World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Council middleweight titles in New York on March 18. The highly anticipated unification bout has been in the works for some time, and both fighters tweeted Saturday that a deal had been done and the fight set for Madison Square Garden. “It’s official, I’m fighting Danny Jacobs on March 18 at MSG,” Golovkin, the IBF, WBC and WBA world title-holder tweeted. Golovkin, with a record of 36-0 that includes 33 knockouts, is one of the most feared boxers fighting today. He has won 23 straight inside the distance – most recently his brutal stoppage of Kell Brook in Britain in September.
