LOS ANGELES -- Gennady Golovkin is closing in on a deal to defend his three middleweight title belts against Britains Chris Eubank Jr.
Juan Centeno Red Sox Jersey .Golovkins promoter, Tom Loeffler, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the sides are working on finalizing details.GGG is willing to go to the UK to defend his world titles, and it would be a huge event, Loeffler said in a text message. Hopefully we can get the fight signed.Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) would travel to England in September to take on Eubank (23-1, 18 KOs), the son of the former WBO middleweight champion. Eubank Jr. holds Britains 160-pound title, and he once held the WBAs interim 160-pound belt.The fight would air on Sky Sports pay-per-view in Britain and on regular HBO in the U.S., where Golovkin lives and trains.Golovkin holds the WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight title belts. The Kazakh-born power puncher has stopped 22 consecutive opponents since 2008, dominating his division and becoming a pound-for-pound star.Eubank isnt the first choice as Golovkins next opponent for most boxing fans -- or for Golovkin himself.Golovkin and Loeffler were eager for a big-money showdown with Saul Canelo Alvarez next. Instead, the Mexican star and his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, decided to vacate Alvarezs WBC middleweight title rather than take an immediate fight with the intimidating Golovkin.Alvarezs surprising reluctance has damaged his once-sparkling reputation among boxing fans. Eubank has expressed no such fears, but he would be a big underdog against Golovkin in their bout, which is expected to be staged in Londons O2 Arena.The 34-year-old Golovkin is determined to keep his promises to stay active while he attempts to hold every middleweight title. The only other major 160-pound belt is held by WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs), who beat Eubank by split decision in November 2014.Loeffler repeatedly has attempted to entice Saunders into the ring, but both fighters promoters have said the unheralded Saunders wants an extraordinary financial payout to risk his belt against the feared Golovkin, who would be an enormous favorite.Saunders is expected to fight on the undercard of Alvarezs meeting with Liam Smith on Sept. 17.

LOUIS -- Coach Ken Hitchcock criticized the St. Louis Blues effort and focus in a 4-1 loss to Calgary on Tuesday night.If they dont improve both of those areas in a hurry, the results in Thursday nights home game against the Detroit Red Wings might not be much better.The Red Wings are coming into the game as one of the hottest teams in the NHL, having won five consecutive contests after losing their first two to start the season.Detroits most recent win came on Tuesday night at home, a 4-2 victory over Carolina that included the first two goals of the season from center Dylan Larkin.We have to keep going and we cant take the foot of the gas, Larkin told the Detroit News. We have a big test on the road in St. Louis, a good team, especially at home. We have to do the right things that have made us successful in the last five games.Hitchcock also will be looking for his team to do the right things, the parts of the game they didnt do well in the loss to the Flames.We didnt manage it (the puck) very well, Hitchcock said. We played sideways when we should have played with speed and gone north, and we played light on the boards when we could have really won some puck battles and played with a higher level of determination.St. Louis captain Alex Pietrangelo, said it will be up to the players to correct those mistakes if they want to a different outcome against the Redd Wings.

The games when you dont seem to have it mentally, you have to find a way to win, he said.The Blues could get Jori Lehtera back in the lineup for Thursdays game, but instead of playing center, Hitchcock said there was a chance he could move to left wing and play on a line with Jaden Schwartz at center and Vladimir Tarasenko on right wing.Lehtera has missed the last four games while being treated for an apparent concussion.Left winger Justin Abdelkader could return for the Red Wings after missing the last two games because of a lower-body injury. Returning to St. Louis as a new member of the Red Wings will be center Steve Ott, who spent the last three years with the Blues before signing as a free agent in Detroit.One of the keys to the Red Wings recent success has been the ability to close out games, something they had trouble doing last season.Thats the biggest difference, coach Jeff Blashill told NHL.com. Weve done that so far this season. Weve done a good job of being able to score that extra goal if weve needed it. As Ive talked about, we were actually good defensively in the third period last year but we still gave up lots of leads because youre constantly playing with just a one-goal lead so its a big difference.
