Kazakh boxer Gennady Golovkin’s promoter, K2 Promotions, has signed a multi-fight rights deal with US pay-television broadcaster HBO.
The deal will run for a minimum of four fights, according to the ESPN.com website.
Golovkin retained his World Boxing Association middleweight title at the weekend against Daniel Geale – the first fight covered by the new deal.
The agreement also includes provisions for overseas fights and potential pay-per-view fights.
K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler said: “We are looking forward to continuing our long-term relationship with HBO. They have invested a lot in Gennady, and we feel they are the best television partner we could have to help take his career to the next level.”
Golovkin has won all 30 of his professional bouts – 27 by knockout – and made his debut on HBO in September 2012. His next fight is expected to take place in October or November.
