GGG talks about headlining his first PPV fight.
“Pay-Per-View to me means reaching the highest level in the sport. This has given me the opportunity for my first title unification fight.
“All the big names in boxing have fought on Pay-Per-View and I look forward to making my first Pay-Per-View on October 17 against champion David Lemieux.
“I want the biggest fights against the top names in the middleweight division and that means Pay-Per-View.
“I appreciate the support of my fans and I look forward to putting on another amazing show for them.
“Since I started fighting in the United States and on HBO three years ago my exposure has increased dramatically and I’m happy with my career.”
