Gennady Golovkin has requested that the WBA allow him to skip his mandatory against Jerrod Fletcher to face Danny Geale. Golovkin is scheduled to return July 26th at Madison Square Garden and Geale is an opponent that would draw better ratings than the unknown Fletcher. Team Golovkin has been looking at Geale and Peter Quillin as potential matchups since the Chavez Jr fight fell through however the Cold War of boxing seems to have prevented the fight as Golovkin's team refuses to leave HBO as his supporting network.
