Golovkin takes starring role again in title defense vs Wade (The Associated Press)

Gennady Golovkin is still trying to land the marquee opponents and landmark fights that will catapult him to the top level of boxing stardom. Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is expected to have a sellout crowd at the Forum in Inglewood, California, on Saturday night to watch his mandatory title defense against unbeaten Dominic Wade. Boxing-savvy Los Angeles has packed an arena three times in 18 months for its adopted champ, who also sold out New York’s Madison Square Garden last fall.
