Former WBC light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk (19-1, 15 KOs) scored an early victory in the sixth round over Rickards Bolotniks 19-7-1, 8 KOs). The fight began slowly, but when Gvozdyk went ahead, he began to cause obvious problems for Bolotniks and, as a result, was able to stop him at 1:53 of the sixth round. After three and a half years of retirement, Gvozdyk, 36, resumed his career earlier this year.
