Billy Joe Saunders is "not serious" about a unification clash with Gennady Golovkin, according to the Kazakh's manager.
WBO world middleweight champion Saunders has published several challenges on social media, but Golovkin's representative Oleg Hermann believes the Hatfield fighter is being disingenuous.
Hermann said: "Our plan is to unify the titles but the WBA ordered us to fight Daniel Jacobs so we have to focus on that.
For the Saunders fight, we want to book a Las Vegas arena but as of right now, we don't take his words seriously.
"Then we'll look at the unification fight with Saunders, who allegedly is interested in fighting Golovkin after our mandatory defence.
"For the Saunders fight, we want to book a Las Vegas arena but as of right now, we don't take his words seriously. Our experience tells us that a guy who talks too much is not ready to fight."
Golovkin defended his WBA Super, WBC and IBF world titles in spectacular style by ending Kell Brook's challenge in the fifth round on September 10.
