WASHINGTON – Former world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and longtime trainer Abel Sanchez parted company on Wednesday (Thursday Manila time) in an acrimonious split apparently triggered by a dispute over money. Therefore, I will not be training with Abel Sanchez." The decision means Golovkin will have a new trainer in his corner when he returns to the ring in June. Golovkin owned the World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council and International Boxing Federation world titles until last September, when he lost a 12-round majority decision to Mexico's Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. He is a great trainer, a loyal trainer, and a Hall of Fame trainer," Golovkin said.
