Taureano Johnson
According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, IBF Middleweight mandatory contender injured his shoulder and will not be available for a potential bout with world Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.

“Tureano will come to the States for a second opinion,” said Eric Gomez of Golden Boy Promotions. “But for the time being the fight with GGG is off. We will not allow him to fight until he is 100 percent medically cleared.”

Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler would like a fight with Canelo Alvarez in May, but that apparently will not happen.

“GGG and Canelo fighting in May would make a lot of sense,” Loeffler said, “but it would be up to the Canelo/Golden Boy side to do it.”
