Undefeated American boxer David Benavides (28-0, 24 KOs) has spoken out about his upcoming fight with Ukrainian veteran Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs).

"After the fight with Oleksandr Gvozdyk, a win will make me the number one contender for the winner of the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight - that's what I'm aiming for.

Right now we are 100% focused on Alexander, he is a great boxer. We are not losing sight of him. We'll take care of him first and then we'll move on to the next opponent," Benavides told Boxing News 24/7.

Recall, Benavides and Gvozdik will fight on June 15 in Las Vegas, USA. At stake will be the temporary WBC light-heavyweight title.
