David Lemieux ready to shock Gennady Golovkin in New York
Monday 12 October 2015 21:50, UK
David Lemieux is confident he can stun boxing by taking out Gennady Golovkin when the pair meet this weekend.
The knockout specialists each go into their New York fight with a version of the world middleweight title, and the winner will walk away with the IBF and WBA belts.
Lemieux is a 7/1 outsider with Sky Bet to end Golovkin's unbeaten record, and the Kazakh was last taken the distance more than seven years ago.
But Lemieux said: "I'm ready. It's now or never. He's at his best, I'm getting to my best. We took a big step, and we're ready for it.
"Everybody understands the gravity of this fight. I think people are going to be surprised with what I bring to the table.
