The former champion explained why he no longer considers Beterbiev a favorite to fight Bivol
Former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdik once again spoke out about the upcoming fight for all titles in his division between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
These boxers were scheduled to meet on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but were postponed due to Beterbiev's torn meniscus.
"I think it all depends on Beterbiev. He started getting injured too often lately. I don't know, maybe it's age. Maybe he started to go on the decline. I don't know.

I think that the version of Beterbiev that fought me would have beaten Bivol. That's my opinion. But Bivol is also a great fighter. In this situation, I won't be brave enough to give a prediction. In this fight, the chances are 50/50," said the Ukrainian in an interview with YouTube channel ABN Sports Media.
