Former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdik (19-1, 15 KOs) said he was ready to fight Russian boxers.

“Now everyone says that you don’t need to box or compete in the same arena with Russian boxers.. It's a difficult question. On the one hand, yes, because if the Russians box, they increase the authority of their state. On the other hand, we will not play chess with him, but beat each other. If I beat a Russian, I don't think anyone will be too upset in Ukraine,"

Recall that Oleksandr Gvozdyk is the bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympics in London, and in 2018, thanks to the victory over Adonis Stevenson, the Ukrainian became the WBC world champion.

In October 2019, the Ukrainian lost a fight by technical knockout against the Russian Artur Beterbiev, after which he decided to end his career.

In February of this year, Gvozdyk resumed his career and already had two victorious fights..
