That’ll catch the attention of Sergey Kovalev; Dmitry Bivol; Marcus Browne; Eleider Alvarez and even Londoner Anthony Yarde who will all see themselves worthy of a shot at the winner.

This will, in turn, put them in a position to earn a monster pay cheque if any of the big names come calling.

The Nail to Make His Point
Oleksandre Gvozdyk is a 31-year-old Ukrainian fighter who bases himself in California. The 6ft 2inch orthodox brings a perfect professional record consisting of 16 wins against no draws and zero defeats since making his paid debut back in 2014. His journey has seen him pick-up a clutch of honours, including the NABF light heavyweight title; however, there’s no doubt about his major success to date. The Nail proved a point when beating Mehdi Amar in New York last year to win the interim version of the WBC.
It became official when stopping big-hitting Adonis Stevenson in brutal fashion late last year, a result that sent shockwaves throughout the sport. Stevenson was downed heavy in the 11th round in front of a shocked Quebec audience. Although the initial thoughts were about the beaten man’s safety, those in attendance and watching around the world knew they had witnessed a future star in Oleksandre Gvozdyk and one that would have a say in the division.
There was very little in the scorecards at the time of the knockout and many believed Stevenson was on his way to securing a points win; however, Gvozdyk showed he can never be written off and is a danger in the opening few rounds as well as the closing stages of a contest. He has dynamite power in both hands and that will cause opponents to afford him the respect he deserves in future fights. Another win is no better than 1/40 in the betting, with many firms stuck around the 1/100 mark. The KO/TKO appeals for obvious reasons, although The Nail did win the title on points, proving he has the stamina to go 12 if needed.
