I want to fight Bivol and Beterbiev, I’m ready for them. If I can’t fight with them, then I’m ready to fight with Buatsi, Aziz and the others,” Gvozdyk emphasized.
Earlier, WBC Ukraine President Nikolai Kovalchuk said that “the war in Ukraine became a catalyst for Gvozdyk to resume his career as a professional boxer.” Kovalchuk expressed confidence that the fundamental point for Alexander is to take the belts from “representatives of our enemy” Bivol and Beterbiev.

The Ukrainian himself stated that his next goal is a rematch with Artur Beterbiev. In October 2019, Gvozdyk lost to Beterbiev in a unification fight for the IBF and WBC light heavyweight belts.
Gvozdyk fought his last fight in May. The Ukrainian knocked out Latvian boxer Richards Bolotniks in the 6th round, achieving his second victory after resuming his career.
