Gennady Golovkin showdown inevitable, says Andy Lee

Andy Lee believes if he holds onto his belt, that a fight with middleweight kingpin Gennady Golovkin is inevitable.

The Limerick southpaw, who defends his WBO belt against Peter Quillin in New York on April 11, was at ringside in Monte Carlo on Saturday watching WBA/IBO/WBC champion Golovkin stop England’s Martin Murray in the 11th round.

Murray was down twice in the fourth after being dropped by body shots and was floored again in the 10th as the unbeaten Kazakh improved to 32 wins (29 KO) in Monaco.
