Better late than never? 2020 gets its first taste of the “Big Drama Show” this evening (Fri., Dec. 18, 2020) when Middleweight wrecking machine Gennady Golovkin defends his IBF Middleweight title against undefeated mandatory challenger Kamil Szeremeta.

MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of tonight’s main event. The DAZN broadcast kicks off at 5 p.m. ET, with Golovkin and Szeremeta likely to make the walk closer to 8 p.m. ET.

“GGG” hasn’t seen action since narrowly defeating Sergiy Derevyanchenko in Oct. 2019, as COVID, injuries and other issues have prevented him from locking horns with Szeremeta. He was expected to face Canelo Alvarez in a trilogy match early next year, but Alvarez recently parted ways with DAZN, making it unclear what the Kazakh bruiser’s next step will be if he gets by Szeremeta.

Other names of note include Super Featherweight champion Hyun Mi Choi, unbeaten prospect Ali Akhmedov, and former title challenger John Ryder.
