Former world light heavyweight champion Ukrainian Alexander Gvozdyk (17-1, 14 KOs) in an interview with the YouTube channel "Shipshina Show" clarified the situation around his return to the ring.
— I'm coming back, I confirm it. In my case, unfortunately, I can't do it... I would like to do it the way Ivan Redkach does it. But I can't do that. So I'm working on it. I am preparing for January now, there are still options in March.
But I didn't sign the contract. These dates have already been postponed three times. Now I'm getting ready for January. The opposition will not be a champion, a top one. There will be some opposition to return. The opposition will be one that I have to go through easily in order to get back the feelings that I should have in the ring.
Then, maybe something more serious will happen in March. But I repeat, I do not want to reassure anyone that it will be 100%. Because I was already given three dates and all three fell through. Therefore, when I sign a contract, the first thing I will do is put up a post with a poster for my comeback fight. But now this is such a teaser, call it what you want. Yes, I'm getting ready, I'm constantly training. But it is quite difficult to find an opponent and a team to work with.
- The opponent is still unknown?
- Not yet for you. There are options for me. I don’t want to overestimate myself, but if it’s him, I could describe the opponent in three words — we have what we have,” Gvozdyk said.
