Born Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin on April 8, 1982 in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.
An accomplished amateur (345-5), he captured silver at the 2004 Olympic Games before turning pro in 2006. In his 19th bout he stopped Milton Nunez (KO 1) for the WBA interim middleweight title and would ultimately unify by winning the WBC, IBF and IBO titles. During his title reign he would successfully defend the versions of his championship an incredible 20 times including wins over Daniel Jacobs (W 12), David Lemieux (TKO 8), Kell Brook (TKO5), Matthew Macklin (KO 3), Gabriel Rosado (TKO 7), Kassim Ouma (TKO 10) and a draw with Canelo Alvarez in the first of three bouts. He lost his titles to Alvarez (L 12) in a 2018 rematch but began a second reign as champion by winning the vacant IBF / IBO middleweight titles in 2019 and the WBA version in 2022. Golovkin’s last bout was a 12-round loss to Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight titles in 2022. One of boxing’s most devastating punchers, GGG’s pro record stands at 42-2-1 (37 KOs).
In November 2025 he was elected President of World Boxing, the international federation within the Olympic movement governing the sport at world level.
