Gennady Golovkin, the boxer from Kazakhstan who holds the WBA Super, IBO and WBC Interim championship titles is “no hype work, but real deal” as Andre Ward once put it. But he is certainly getting a well earned share of media attention. Golovkin never does trash-talk nor does he raise hype via social media otherwise. He just gets in the ring. He means business.
