Spike awaits word on GGG fight

Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan is hoping his management can pull off a major coup with confirmation of the biggest fight of his life as he hopes to land a Las Vegas shot at middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin.

O’Sullivan, who has won 27 of his 29 fights, is hoping to step in for a May 5 bout with the WBA, WBC, and IBF middleweight world champion, after a rematch between the Kazakh star and Mexican rival Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez was shelved after Canelo failed a drugs test. Canelo denies wrongdoing.

Alvarez tested positive for trace levels of performance-enhancing drug Clenbuterol, the boxer’s promoters Golden Boy Promotions confirmed.
