“Teddy tries to be as close to you as possible. At the same time, he always tries to be the boss. This is a person who has two opinions: his opinion and the wrong one. I say it like it is. Teddy has a lot of theories. He talks a lot, which I think is sometimes counterproductive.

Everything started great with him, but then I felt that, for example, I didn’t have enough work on my conditioning. In fact, in the fight with Stevenson, I boxed in my old condition. In the duel with Ngumbu, I also boxed against them, only there were fewer of them. The level of the opponent made it easy to deal with him. And with Beterbiev there were even fewer of them. In this regard, Teddy does not pay enough attention.

He has a good understanding of boxing, tactics, technique, but we do not box three rounds, but 12. Probably, we need to keep up with the times. In order for a boxer to be able to perform tactical tasks, he needs elementary functional training, when the opponent puts pressure on you and all that, ”Gvozdyk said in an interview with the Viktor Yalymov Boxing Studio YouTube channel.
