HBO takes its April 26 date off the table after Gennady Golovkin pulls out

A proposed bout between middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Andy Lee at Madison Square Garden in New York City was recently called off because of the unexpected death of Golovkin’s father.

That bout was to be televised by HBO, which said Wednesday it will no longer televise any card on that date.

“… With Gennady unavailable to us, HBO is moving off the date. We will move on to our other boxing programming initiatives for the spring and early summer,” an HBO spokesman wrote in a statement.
