Alexander Gvozdyk, former WBC light heavyweight champion, recalled his preparation for the fight against Artur Beterbiev.
“Under Beterbiev, you just need to be physically ready. In addition to technical moments, you need to prepare physically, because he puts pressure, throws a lot of punches... Initially, I didn’t like everything at the training camp. We had disagreements, but halfway through I won’t say: “We have a bad camp” or “Let's cancel everything,” the boxer said.
Recall that Gvozdyk lost to Beterbiev by TKO in the tenth round.
