The thirteenth child in a family from Karaganda, who once began with simple training in the gym, became a world boxing champion and went down in history as one of the most feared and respected boxers on the planet. His story exemplifies that discipline and self-belief are more important than any circumstance.

Childhood and the beginning of the journey

Golovkin was born in 1982 in Karaganda. He had a difficult childhood: his family lived modestly, and his father worked as a miner. He faced hardships at an early age, losing both his brothers. It was they who first introduced him to boxing and inspired him to pursue the sport.

From that moment on, sport became not just a hobby for Gennady, but the meaning of life.

But the main secret of his success is discipline: training, routine, respect for the sport and his opponents. Even after reaching the top, he remained humble and focused.

World Champion

Gennady quickly established himself as a professional boxer. He became the WBA, IBF, IBO, and WBC world champion. His streak of 23 consecutive knockout victories became legendary. Opponents knew it was always war with him in the ring.

His fights with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez made boxing history. Millions of fans around the world followed their rivalries, and GGG's name became a brand not only in Kazakhstan but also beyond.
