Former WBC world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk stated that he still plans to unify all the titles in the division.
“It’s not that I believe, I know that it will happen. I will take revenge from Beterbiev and become the absolute champion. For me, the fight with Beterbiev is more priority than with Bivol, because he has three belts. But I won’t refuse a fight with Bivol either. What lessons did I learn after losing to Beterbiev? That you need to focus on other things in preparation, not relax and work 200%. You need to be very well prepared functionally, practice defense and act on counterattacks. Fighting Beterbiev at mid-range is suicide,” the Ukrainian said.
