Unbeaten Ukrainian light heavyweight Alexander Gvozdyk, who occupies the second place in the WBC rankings, said that he was glad to step closer to the fight for the world title in a meeting for the WBC interim belt on March 17.

"I'm looking forward to taking the next step to the world title. I know almost nothing about my rival Mehdi Amare, but I'm happy to fight in the US at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is Mecca of boxing. Thanks to all my team for making it a reality," said Gvozdyk.
