NEW YORK — Gennadiy Golovkin and Sergiy Derevyanchenko had no issues on the scales, each coming in under the 160-pound limit on Friday afternoon, a day before they fought for the vacant IBF middleweight title at Madison Square Garden.

Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 knockouts) weighed in at 159.2 pounds, while Derevyanchenko (13-1-1, 10 KOs) was slightly lighter at 159 pounds. The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds and will headline a card on DAZN. The belt is vacant after Canelo Alvarez was stripped of the belt for failing to meet the mandatory challenger Derevyanchenko.

Golovkin, 37, of Kazakhstan is four years older than the Ukrainian Derevyanchenko, and is looking to begin a second reign with a middleweight title after losing the second of two contentious bouts with Alvarez in 2018.
