GGG Might Not Be Done: Boxing Legend Opens Up On Possible Return

Just when the boxing world thought Gennady “GGG” Golovkin had quietly shut the door on his illustrious career, the 43-year-old star has revealed that a comeback is still possible — even as he campaigns to become the next president of World Boxing.

Golovkin, who hasn’t fought since his 2022 defeat to Canelo Alvarez, has never officially hung up the gloves. And according to him, the door isn’t completely closed.

“If my candidacy is successful, I will probably announce that I’ve ended my career… although there is always a possibility.”

Classic GGG — calm, disciplined, and always leaving fans guessing.

Golovkin’s New Mission: Protecting Olympic Boxing

Golovkin has already been serving as head of World Boxing’s Olympic commission, and now he’s in a two-man race for the presidency. The stakes? Absolutely massive.

With Olympic boxing hanging by a thread beyond Los Angeles 2028, GGG believes he’s the man to save the sport’s amateur foundation.

“The position Olympic boxing is in is unacceptable… There is a real threat it won’t be included in the Olympics after LA28.”

In typical Golovkin fashion, he’s not just concerned — he’s ready to fight for the sport’s future.

The Ali Act Controversy: GGG Hits Back

A new proposed U.S. bill — the Muhammad Ali Revival Act — threatens to reshape professional boxing. Backed by TKO and UFC president Dana White, it would allow new sanctioning bodies to emerge and potentially shift control away from fighters.

GGG is not impressed.

“All this is being done to influence athletes and control them more… The old Ali Act protected athletes.”

Golovkin sees the bill as a move toward corporate control — and away from fighter welfare.

Saudi Influence: Big Money, Big Impact, Big Questions

Saudi Arabia has rapidly become boxing’s biggest stage, hosting mega-fights and investing heavily in global sports media. But the country’s human rights record has raised serious concerns.

Golovkin is aware of both sides:

• Saudi events are glamorous and financially rewarding

• But amateur boxing requires national development — not just spectacle

“Saudi Arabia has built its place in history… but amateur boxing is different. I want to see Saudi athletes shine at the Olympics too.”

A balanced take from a man who has seen every side of the boxing business.

Influencer Boxing? GGG Says It’s Not Wrong — But Not The Focus

Golovkin isn’t here to dismiss the Jake Paul era. In fact, he acknowledges why celebrity boxing thrives.

“Everyone tries to be involved to show they are relevant… For them, it’s business.”

But he also stresses the responsibility to keep boxing transparent, safe, and fair — especially for younger fighters climbing the ladder.

Golovkin’s Big Plans: AI, Transparency, And Gender Fairness

GGG’s presidential manifesto is surprisingly modern, mixing boxing tradition with futuristic upgrades:

1. AI in Judging & Refereeing

Golovkin wants artificial intelligence to assist with replays and scoring accuracy.

“AI won’t make decisions, but it will help. The human factor is always there.”

A major step toward fairness in a sport long plagued by questionable judging.

2. Gender Testing Policies

World Boxing insists on mandatory tests in controversial cases, like that of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.

GGG says the goal is simple:

“Men box with men, women box with women. We want fair sport.”

3. Mental Health & Educational Academy

He plans to launch an academy to support fighters beyond the ring — a move that could reshape amateur boxing globally.

GGG’s Legacy Entering A New Chapter

Whether Golovkin fights again or not, one thing is clear:
He’s not done impacting the sport.

From Olympic reforms to AI-powered officiating to protecting fighters’ rights, Gennady Golovkin is stepping into a new kind of battle — one that may shape boxing’s future more than any punch he ever threw.

And if he does make a comeback?
Well… the boxing world would absolutely explode.

Joshua vs Paul: The Fight No One Expected… But Everyone Will Watch

If you thought the boxing world had already delivered its biggest surprises for the year—think again. Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is officially set to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on 19 December at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not an AI simulation.
In Jake Paul’s words: “This is Judgment Day.”

The bout will be streamed live on Netflix, another major power move that guarantees global eyeballs—and massive sports market implications.

Why This Fight Is Even Happening

Jake Paul was originally scheduled to face Gervonta Davis in an exhibition match, but after a lawsuit halted Davis’ participation, the team scrambled for a colossal replacement.

Enter Anthony Joshua.

A matchup that many dismissed as unrealistic is now locked in for eight three-minute rounds under professional rules.

Jake Paul: From Content Creator To Heavyweight Dreamer

Paul has evolved beyond YouTube fame. With 21 million subscribers, he’s grown into a legitimate sports entertainer and—more recently—a ranked boxer.

Some quick Jake Paul facts:

• Record: 12 wins, 1 loss, 7 knockouts

• WBA Cruiserweight Ranking: No. 14

• Beat Mike Tyson in a 2024 exhibition watched by 108 million viewers

• Beat former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

• Weighed 227.5 lbs in his last fight (officially entering heavyweight territory)

To his credit, Paul isn’t shying away from the challenge:

“When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears… To all my haters, this is what you wanted.”

Whether you love him or hate him, Jake Paul knows how to sell a fight.

Anthony Joshua: Back To Prove A Point

Joshua returns to the ring for the first time since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois in 2024. After taking time off, he’s walking back into the spotlight with confidence—and a mission.

“I’m coming back with a mega show… I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights, and break every record.”

Joshua also hints that this might be the new era of boxing:

“You’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”

With a record of 28-4 (25 KOs) and over 160 professional rounds under his belt, Joshua enters this fight as the vastly more experienced boxer.

But in the modern sports market—experience isn’t the only currency. Virality sells. And this matchup has it.

Why This Fight Matters For The Sports Market

This isn’t just a boxing match. It’s a global content event.

Here’s how it shakes the sports market:

• Netflix enters deeper into live combat sports, shifting the streaming landscape

• Sponsorship value skyrockets for both fighters

• Casual audiences merge with hardcore boxing fans

• Sports betting markets erupt

• Influence of celebrity boxing becomes impossible to ignore

• Boxing narratives evolve toward entertainment-driven matchups

This is exactly the kind of crossover that defines modern sports economics—part combat, part spectacle, all business.

Final Thoughts

Whether you see it as a circus or a genius move, one thing is certain:
Joshua vs Paul will dominate every sports conversation leading into December.

It’s big. It’s chaotic. It’s unpredictable.
In other words… it’s perfect for today’s sports market.

Scott Boland Reveals The England Star Australia Must Silence In The Ashes

The Ashes are here again, and Australia’s Scott Boland has wasted no time pointing out exactly who the real danger man is in England’s lineup — Joe Root. Targeting key players is an old Aussie tradition, from Glenn McGrath’s famous pre-series predictions to Michael Clarke’s instructions to shut down Alastair Cook in 2013–14.

Now, Boland is keeping the tradition alive.

Speaking ahead of the first Test in Perth, the fast bowler was blunt:
If Australia want control, they need to keep Joe Root quiet.

Root has never scored a Test hundred in Australia, but that hasn’t stopped the local media — or Boland — from treating him as England’s heartbeat.

why root is the man australia want to stop

Boland has dismissed Root four times in previous Ashes battles and knows firsthand how influential the former England captain can be. He explained that England’s middle order thrives when Root settles in, and Australia’s goal is to prevent that.

“You always want to take down the best players,” Boland said. “Hopefully we can keep Joe Root and the guys in the middle-order pretty quiet.”

boland’s incredible home ashes record

The 36-year-old seamer is one of the most efficient bowlers in modern Test cricket. During his 2021–22 Ashes debut, he shocked the world with an extraordinary 6-7 spell at the MCG — a moment that instantly made him a cult hero.

His career numbers remain unbelievable:

• 62 wickets in 14 Tests

• Average: 16.53
  Only two bowlers in history have taken as many Test wickets at a better average — and they played in the 1800s.

The only blemish? The 2023 Ashes in England, where Bazball caused him real problems. He managed just two wickets for 231 runs.

But Boland insists he has learned from that experience:
“I’ve reflected on that tour a fair bit… I just need to execute a bit better.”

opportunity knocks as australia reshuffle their attack

Injuries to Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood mean Boland is no longer on the sidelines — he’s in the XI for the first Test. He will likely partner with Mitchell Starc and 31-year-old debutant Brendan Doggett.

For Boland, it’s a chance to prove himself again at home, on a surface expected to suit fast bowling.

“It’s going to be an exciting time. A new guy or two will get a look in… Brendan knows his game really well,” Boland said.

australia confident conditions will slow down england’s aggressive approach

England’s explosive batting style will face a new challenge in Australia: massive boundary sizes.

At grounds like Perth Stadium, the MCG, and the Gabba, shots that clear ropes in England suddenly need an extra 20 metres of power.

Boland expects that to work heavily in Australia’s favour:
“Balls that would go over the fence in England have a longer way to go here.”

And the same applies to England’s bowlers — short balls need more muscle to reach the boundary.

the stage is set

With Joe Root under the spotlight, Boland back in the attack, and Australia determined to strike early in the series, this Ashes opener is shaping up to be explosive.

Boland’s message is clear:
Slow down Root, and you slow down England.
