Two-time undefeated world champion, Demetrius Andrade is ready should Gennady Golovkin choose to fight him on May 5th at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Golovkin will still fight on May 5 after Canelo Alvarez withdrew from their fight earlier this week. Alvarez tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol two times back in February, which led to the Nevada State Athletic Commission to file a complaint against Canelo.
Andrade explained why Golovkin should choose him on Cinco de Mayo weekend:
“Like I said last week, I am in the gym, and if Gennady does the right thing and choose the best available fighter, and that is me, he and his team should know that I am ready to fight him for his middleweight titles on May 5th,” Andrade said. “I have been working extra hard in the gym to prepare myself for May 5th. Last week your promoter texted my promoter asking if I was in the gym, well the pictures are the proof that I have been. I think Gennady knows that I am the best option right now. Based on all the comments about all of the names out there, this is the fight that the fans prefer. Gennady and his team have always talked about fighting the best, well it is time he stays true to his word and let’s fight on May 5th.”
I would be shocked if Team Golovkin chooses Andrade. He is too dangerous of fighter, especially with the possibility of Canelo being available in September.
