Gennady Golovkin will fulfill another ambition when he defends his WBC and IBF middleweight titles against Kell Brook on Saturday.The undefeated Kazakh will fight for the first time in the UK, years after a potential match-up with Britains Darren Barker fell through and having defeated Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin overseas.His status as the main attraction at Londons sold-out O2 Arena is also the latest demonstration of his popularity around the world. Despite years of struggling for recognition and his fearsome reputation meaning he is widely avoided to this day, Golovkin is one of boxings biggest draws.A defining fight and the match-up he wants with Mexicos Saul Alvarez have so far eluded him, but in fighting in England, Golovkin can continue to build the reputation it once looked like he may never have.I like the UK fans, Golovkin, 34, sauid. People in the UK understand boxing. Theres a lot of history and tradition.Every time I told [promoter] Tom Loeffler, Please, give me a chance to fight in the UK. I have a couple of fights, with Martin Murray, with Matthew Macklin, [but] I want to fight here, in the UK.For me, its huge. I want the fight with Billy Joe Saunders and the fight with [Chris] Eubank [Jnr]. We lost time with the Eubank fight but we have a contract with Kell Brook. I said: Im ready.Ive had fights in Kazakhstan, in Germany, in Panama. This is the boxing world. The UK is huge for me. There are some great champions from the UK. People understand boxing here.Its like Mexico. There are true fans. I cant just stay in Kazakhstan. I cant stay in the United States. I want to fight all over the world. I want big fights.The devastating and widely feared Golovkins fight with Brook, who steps up from welterweight, comes with Alvarez appearing reluctant to fight him and Mayweather similarly showing no interest despite him representing what most would consider his greatest test.At 34, and with the aggressive style of fighting generally more suited to a younger man, Golovkin is short of time to build a truly lasting legacy, but he said: My goal is all the belts in the middleweight division. Everybody wants all the belts. Thats the dream for everybody.We worked out a good deal but he [Eubank] didnt want the fight with me. Its not my problem. Im taking my time. I have time.Kell is a champion and I respect him. I saw a couple of his fights. He has different speed, different movement and different timing. Its not easy. Yes, its a different size for us, Im a little bit bigger, but right now I cant say hes an easy fight for me because hes a very good fighter. Cheap Diamondbacks Jerseys .
