Golovkin hopes boxing stays in Olympics

Quick Summary:

VILLEPINTE, France — Gennady Golovkin believes he owes his incredible boxing career in part to his Olympic beginnings, and the possibility of his sport vanishing after the Paris Games has staggered one of the greatest fighters of his generation.

Pro boxers have been allowed to compete at the Olympics since Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and dozens of fighters with pro experience now compete — albeit none of the world’s best professionals, who don’t have the time or the inclination to jump through Olympic hoops.

Along with its lengthy history in the Games, boxing always brings in athletes from nations around the globe without the resources to excel in team sports — and half of those athletes are now women, who got their first chance to fight at the Olympics only in 2012.
