According to World Boxing Organization President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel, a unification between WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) and WBA, IBO, WBC and IBF champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) is NOT going to happen - at least not next.

The fight had been discussed between both parties for dates in June and July, in Golovkin's home country of Kazakhstan.

Saunders' promoter Frank Warren claims that Golovkin's handlers were unwilling to go forward with the fight, because the hard puncher was allegedly injured.

Golovkin's trainer, Abel Sanchez, denied that his boxer was injured - but he did say Golovkin was very sore from his last fight and not physically ready to enter training camp for a summer fight.

Last month, Golovkin went the twelve round distance for the first time in his career when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs at New York's Madison Square Garden. It was a tough fight that saw Golovkin tested by a bigger man.

Reports then surfaced that Golovkin was going to skip a summer return and instead focus his energy on a potential fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in September.

But then Golovkin's manager, Oleg Hermann, went to the Kazakhstan press and denied those reports, stating that his team did not walk away from the Saunders fight.

According to the WBO President, no request has been submitted to sanction a Golovkin vs. Saunders unification and as far as he knows the contest is not going to happen.

"The fight between Saunders and Golovkin has not been sanctioned. Moreover, it is not even in the plans. They do not have a signed contract for this fight. Frankly, I think that this fight does not take place. I know that Golovkin wants to rest, to recover. Previously, it was being discussed for July, but apparently it will not work for July, because there is not a lot of time [between that fight and Canelo is September]. I don't think that fight is going to happen," Paco told Margarita Yakupova.
