Oleg Hermann, the manager of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, is disputing some of the statements that were attributed to his boxer in a recent interview that was published by UK newspaper City A.M.

In that interview, Golovkin was highly critical of Carl Froch, Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

While Hermann admits that his boxer spoke to a British reporter about Froch and potentially facing him in the UK, he never made any of the printed statements about Ward or Mayweather.

"It was very surprising to read this interview where Gennady spoke about Mayweather and Ward. Gennady actually did speak to someone in the British media, but it was about Carl Froch and a possible fight with him in England. The rest of it the journalist wrote himself. The situation is strange, but apparently with the increasing popularity of Gennady, there is a growing desire by some outlets to think of things on his behalf."
