WBC interim light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk, said why he never maked the show during press conferences, weigh-ins and fights.

"I cannot act. I behave the way I feel. I cannot scream or trash talk in order to attract someone's attention. I somehow think that then I'll look like a clown.

“After the Olympics when Usyk and Berinchyk went out with Cossacks haircut chub they often asked me: "Why did not you do it yourself?" They asked even several months after the Games.

“Well, if everyone did so at the same time, it would be interesting, but when this was already shown to the public, and everyone starts doing the same thing, well, it's silly. Opinion was already formed of me at the public. People have an association about a boxer Gvozdyk already: here I am, without showing off.

“If managers say that it is necessary? It all depends on what you need to say. You may bad mouth your opponent and fall in the eyes of your own fans. And you can joke, but very well. This is a very fine line. And it's more comfortable for me to show myself and my possibilities in the ring than to play some role before the audience," said Gvozdyk.
