The head of the World Boxing promotion company Andrei Ryabinsky, representing the interests of the WBA world champion in this weight category Dmitry Bivol (16-0, 11 KOs), wants to organize a tournament in this weight category with the participation of all title holders - Alexander Gvozdyk (16-0, 13 KOs), Artur Beterbiyev (13-0, 13 KOs) and Sergey Kovalev (33-3-1, 28 KOs).
“As for Kovalev, it would be a wonderful fight. I don't really want it, because both are our boys. I would like them to meet later. Now the Ukrainian Alexander Gvozdyk, Bivol, Sergey Kovalev, and Artur Beterbiev are in this weight. All people from the CIS, the guys are familiar.
“Probably, if we talk about the movement in the direction of the union of the belts, then I would prefer that, for example, Dmitry to meet Gvozdyk, and Sergey vs Beterbiev, or vice versa, and then Dima and Sergey meet in the final. It would be more interesting for fans,” Ryabinsky said.
