Gennady Golovkin can and will be beaten, says latest challenger Dominic Wade

Dominic Wade claims he has identified flaws in Gennady Golovkin and is confident of snatching the Kazakh's middleweight crowns.
The unbeaten American (18-0-KO12) challenges WBA Super and IBF world champion Golovkin (34-0-KO31) in Inglewood on Saturday night and will hear the first bell as a clear underdog.
Wade, 26, said ahead of his first world title fight: "Nobody thinks I can win. There aren't that many people out there, aware of just what I can do inside the ring.
I just don't care what people are talking about Golovkin's future. I'll be spoiling those plans.
"The given fact that most people underestimate me, extra motivates me towards victory this Saturday. I just don't care what people are talking about Golovkin's future, I will be spoiling those plans, and I will be the one who fights Canelo.
"I'm ready for this, people ask if I'm nervous, not at all. I've been a fighter all my life, always wanted to be a world champion. When this opportunity came up I was so excited I could have run 30 miles.
"I know how good Gennady is but I'll be ready on April 23 to be victorious and show the world who the best middleweight is.
"I see flaws in his game that I can take advantage of. He's very strong but also very basic in some ways."
Golovkin is already talking about the possibility of a unification bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, who defends his WBC world middleweight crown against Amir Khan on May 7.
