David Lemieux Blog Part 1: Monday, September 21

Are you ready for GGG — Which fight in your career best prepared you for the challenges you will face against Golovkin?

I am absolutely ready for Golovkin. There is not a single doubt in my mind, and I would not have taken the fight if there was.

I think that my last fight against Hassan N’Dam is the one that prepared me the best for this championship fight. It was a major fight, a championship fight as well, and I delivered a great performance. I also showed that I could perform well and achieve great things under pressure. I have an experienced team behind me, we have all the tools and the experience needed to get me in the best shape that I can be in the ring on October 17th. My preparation for N’Dam went extremely well, we had a great camp and I was ready physically and mentally the day of the fight, and I proved that with my performance. We will use the same recipe.

This is my next step, a big one, but one that I am definitely ready for. I honestly think that I’m the best chosen opponent to beat Golovkin now because of the boxer that I am, physically and mentally, but mostly because of my character, my strength of character.
