SHE'S the wife of one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in history.

And no doubt Alina Golovkina will be cheering her husband Gennady Golovkin on as he targets two world middleweight belts against Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

Who is Gennady Golovkin's wife Alina?

THE KAZAKH star likes to keep his family and professional life separate, so very little is known about Alina.

She is also from Kazakhstan andthe pair now live in California, close to wear GGG trains in Little Bear.

With Golovkin now into his late 30s, Alina seems keen for him to hang up his gloves sooner rather than later.

A devoted family man, Golovkin still dedicates his time to the sport and Alina told TMZ: "I need time with him!".

She is rarely ever seen ringside at GGG's fights - and gave birth shortly before his first middlewight clash with Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas.

Golovkin is keen to keep his private life just that, telling USA Today: "My focus is on boxing. Boxing – business. Family is different.”

The couple married on July 7, 2007.

How many children do they have?

GENNADY and Alina have two children together.

Their son Vadim is in primary school, whilst their daughter was born just eight days before his showdown with Canelo, which resulted in GGG missing the birth.
