The Ukrainian will fight with David Benavidez on June 15
Former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk spoke about the upcoming fight with the American holder of the “interim” WBC super middleweight title David Benavides.
“I’m so happy to be here again, to have the chance to fight for the title again against a top opponent. Therefore, I will do my best not to leave viewers disappointed. We will put on a great show on June 15th.”
“That was the goal of my return – to fight such a fight. This means a lot to me. People will learn that Ukrainians are strong and brave people.”
“Being in the ring with Benavidez is an extremely difficult place to be. He always applies unrelenting pressure. He’s a very good fighter, a very good puncher. I consider him one of the best fighters. This is a big challenge,” said the Ukrainian.
The fight between Gvozdyk and Benavidez will take place on June 15. The event will be hosted by Las Vegas, with a boxing evening scheduled at the Grand Garden Arena. The fight between Alexander and David will take place on the undercard of the confrontation between WBA champion Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin.
Gvozdyk knocked out Brazilian boxer Isaac Rodriguez in his last fight. This is Alexander’s third victory after resuming his career. Prior to this, the Ukrainian knocked out Latvian boxer Richards Bolotniks in the 6th round.
Benavidez fought his last fight in November 2023. David defeated Demetrius Andrade, who refused to continue the fight after the sixth round.
