The fight which will take place at the Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo, Monaco(France).Both fighters weighed in at 159.2, comfortably within the 160 lb. divisional limit.

The Ghanaian boxer will be facing the Kazakhstan-born puncher  who has scored 15 straight knockouts, including four impressive stoppage wins in a 2013 campaign that saw his name land high on Fighter of the Year lists.

Adama (22-3, 16KO) aims for a major title in his second try. His first attempt resulted in a points loss to Daniel Geale in their March ’12 middleweight title fight. The transplanted Ghanaian, now based outside of Chicago, has won two straight.

The show serves as Golovkin’s second trip to Monte Carlo as  his first appearance resulted in one of the best knockouts of 2013, drilling normally durable Nobuhiro Ishida in three rounds.
