Gvozdyk can fly past the fight for the WBC title

Oleksandr Gvozdyk

WBC Interim light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk (15-0, 12 KOs) this year may not get a fight for a full title. This scenario is possible if on May 19 Badou Jack (22-1-2, 13 KOs) beats the belt-holder Adonis Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs). In this case, the boxers will be forced to make an immediate rematch. This item the team of the champion included in the contract for the fight.

It is not clear how the WBC will react to this, because the organization decided that the winner of the Stevenson vs Jack fight should immediately meet Gvozdyk.
