After their knockout wins this past weekend, the WBA has ordered a bout between champions Gennady Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“The 30-day negotiations period has started,” WBA president Gilberto Mendoza Jr. said. “They have 120 days to do the fight.”
“Daniel Jacobs, he is very good fighter. Huge fight, probably in New York,” Golovkin told ESPN.com in his dressing room after stopping Brook. “Absolutely. I am open for everybody. I think right now this is best fight for us.”
