GGG vs. Derevyanchenko: Height, weight, age and reach of the middleweight IBF title contenders
Between Gennadiy Golovkin and Sergiy Derevyanchenko, who face off at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 5, there's no question who has more starpower.
Golovkin is one of the most well-known boxers in the world, and his two matches against Canelo Alvarez are some of the biggest stories in the sport in recent years.
For Derevyanchenko, the match with Golovkin is perhaps the biggest moment of his career, though it's his second attempt in about a year to become world middleweight champion.
GGG is a heavy favorite, but Derevyanchenko will be doing all he can to make sure this title chance doesn't slip through his hands, knowing it may well be his last.
So, how do Golovkin and Derevyanchenko stack up?
