Gennady Golovkin "ready" for unification fight
IBF & WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin has said he's "ready" for a unification fight against England's Billy Joe Saunders.
Saunders won the WBO version of the middleweight title against Andy Lee in December 2015, defeating the Irishman by majority decision.
In October 2015, Golovkin beat David Lemieux in an eighth-round stoppage to add the IBF middleweight title to his WBA belt.
The Kazakh fighter's win in New York was his 34th victory in the professional ranks, and could have a fight against WBC belt holder Saul Alvarez on the radar.
