Gennady Golovkin ended the trilogy against Canelo Álvarez during Saturday’s bout between the two of them at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.The fight ended, thus ending one of the greatest rivalries in modern boxing, and after the fight ended the question arose among many boxing fans… Have we seen the last of the Kazakh in the ring?
You can’t blame anyone for thinking about this. After all, Gennady Golovkin is a 40-year-old veteran who has had a very successful career in the world of boxing in which he demonstrated all his quality since he fought his first official fight in 2006, having a record of 42 wins, one draw and two defeats – and coincidentally, the only fights in which he did not win were against Canelo Álvarez.
However, his highly defensive performance in the ring in his third fight against Canelo, which contrasts with what both fighters did in their second meeting, could indicate that his body is no longer at the level to demand so much of himself. But… What did Gennady Golovkin say about his retirement? Here at JefeBet we show you.
What Gennady Golovkin Said About His Possible Retirement After His Defeat vs Canelo Álvarez
After the fight, Gennady Golovkin was asked about his future in the post-fight interviews, and he was quite blunt in assuring that he still has a lot to prove in the ring.
Remember, I’m still champion at 160.

In fact, it’s worth remembering that Gennady Golovkin still holds two world belts at middleweight, and when asked about his lack of aggressiveness in the fight, the Kazakh mentioned that he was looking to take a more cautious approach against an elite opponent.
Everyone knows this is a high-level fight. You know who Canelo is. I had to focus, one hit, you make a mistake and the fight is over. It is high level.
With this, Gennady Golovkin reinforces what he mentioned in June in an interview with TMZ Sports, in which he indicated that he would not hang up his gloves after his fight against the Mexican, so his fans around the world will be able to continue enjoying his performances for a while longer.
