The former World Boxing Council (WBC) and the linear world champion in massive weight, Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KO) return to the ring this Saturday for an eight-time fight against Anthony Hollaway (9-7-3, 7 KO) at the Fronveve Arena in the oakanside in California.

GVOZDYK vs. Hollaway will be broadcast as part of the YouTube channel with Golden Boy Promotions’ (GBP).

Gvozdyk has not fought since June last year, when he lost the 12-round decision for David Benavidez for the transient title of WBA Lithe Heavyweight World.

37-year-old Ukraine Native Gvozdyk won the bronze medal at the 2012 Olympic Games. “Nails” are currently evaluated around the world by WBC, as well as magazine Ring No. 7 and No. 10 by World Boxing Organization (WBO).

In 2018, Gvozdyk detained Adonis Stevenson (29-1-1) in the 11th round of the fight in Montreal to become the novel WBC and the linear world champion. Gvozdyk successfully defended his crown when he defeated Dgumbu (38-8) in Philadelphia with technical knockout in the fifth round.

Gvozdyk is set to another delicate heavyweight champion in probably the hottest weight classes in boxing.

Loaded, state-of-the-art heavyweight department contains potential candidates for Hall of Fame, such as Dmitry Bivol, Artur Beterviev and Benavidez. The only two losses of Gvozdyk as a professional were for two leading contemporary 175-pound, Beterbaview and Benavidez. Gvozdyk suffered the only knockout of his professional career against Beterbaview, and in June last year the Ukrainian warrior lost the 12-round unanimous decision by Benavidez about the transient world of the world WBC lightweight massive weight.

“Lithe heavyweight is currently one of the most stimulating boxing departments,” said Gvozdyk. “There was time just after Roy Jones, Jr. when there was not much interest. But then, in early time, we had Sergey Kovalev (Adonis) Stevenson, Jean Pascal and Bernard Hopkins in a lightweight wage. (Betder) (Interim championship championships), but now we have the world champion in the delicate of heavyweight.

Gyozdyk, a free promotional agent, devoted time from his training session to break down some of the leading delicate heavyweight in the world:

Dmitria Bivol (24-1, 12 KO), unquestioned, united world heavyweight master, Kyrgyzstan

“It is so qualified with such a high IQ boxing. I was to fight him (in amateurs) at the World Championships of the University of 2013, but he was wounded and I could not fight, and I became a champion. It is the best delicate massive weight in the world. It is complete; speed, leg processing, everything. In his first fight with Beterbaview, Bivol turned out to be a petite weakness.

Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KO) were the undisputed, unified heavyweight master, two-time Olympian, Russia

“First of all, it’s his power. He is a naturally sturdy guy who can hurt opponents, especially when he gets them on a rope. Some of the faster guys can give him trouble – he is 40 years vintage – he neutralizes what his opponents do.”

David “The Monster” Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO), WBC inexpensive Lithe Heavyweight World Master, former world champion of Super Middle WBC, United States

“He has a huge speed of a hand that exerts relentless pressure. I don’t say he can beat Bivol; he could with his power, but I would still choose Bivol”

Callum “Mundo” Smith (31-2, 22 KO), World Champion WBO Lithe Heavywegh

“I would really like to fight Smith for his title. He is good, experienced and has a good stab. I believe that I can beat him to become a champion.”

Anthony Yarde (26-3, 24 Kos), 2016 Olympian, Great Britain

“A good, solid warrior who has experience and physical game. He is a competitive warrior and one of these warriors to be respected, on my radar. He has a good style.”

Albert “El Vigia” Ramirez (20-0, 17 Kos), Olympian 2016, Venezuela

“To be forthright, I don’t know much about him, not enough to break him. I have to study him.”

Joshua Batsi (19-1, 13 KO), former WBO Interm World Cruiser champion in weight,

Bronze Olympic medalist 2016, Ghana

“He was a transient champion (WBO), as long as Smith recently defeated him in a good fight. He has good hands and was a good amateur, taking gold at the Olympic Games.”

World Boxing News reflects the heavyweight legend of Joe Frazier’s Fantastic victory of the Golden Medal at the 1964 Olympic Games.

Born in southern Carolina, the phrase was known as an elite boxing product from Philadelphia, developing an amateur record of 38-2.

He was a three -time National Golden Gloves champion, whose only two losses were Buster Mathis. He was the only opponent who defeated the Frazier, including the failure of the decision.

According to Frazier, the win was questionable during Olympic rehearsals.

When Mathis, a heavyweight team qualifier, could not compete at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 1964 due to injury, the phrase fully used this opportunity as a deputy.

The phrase became one of the four American boxers in a medal in Japan. Joe was a lonely gold medalist, despite breaking his thumb in the semi -finals.

George Olinello knocked out in the opening round [Uganda]and then stopping the third round of Athol McQueen [Australia] in the quarterfinals.

In the semi -final round against Vadim Jemelyan of the Soviet Union [Russia]The phrase won through the second round of KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Joe Frazier Olympic gold medal

Not wanting to tell anyone that he broke the thumb, fearing that he would not let him fight for a shot in gold, the phrase showed huge sand.

He became notable, winning his close decision, 3-2, compared to Hans Huber [United Team of Germany] In the gold medal to capture the best place on the podium.

“Being a golden Olympic medalist was the most significant event of his amateur career,” said Joe’s son, Marvis Frazier. “It meant that he was the best in the world.

“It also facilitated his next step in professionals. I think he felt that he helped him make him a real man, the best in the world and few people could say that.

“Getting Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do. He proved that he was a man. He was not afraid to do a job.

“Without excuses, work was what my father always said. And you did the task better.”

Heritage

Phrase [32-4-1, 27 KOs] He became a three -time bulky world champion. Defeated Muhammad Ali in the fight of the century, Jimmy Ellis [twice]Bob Foster, Oscar Bonven (twice), Jerry Quarry and Mathis.

Other noteworthy victories are Doug Jones, Eddie Machen and George Chuvalo during his sixteen -year professional career.

Replaced with only 5 feet 11 inches, the phrase was best known for his rocking, weaving, tenacious pressure and left hook damaged by the liver.

His losses towards George Foreman and Ali as part of Thrilly in Manila, a former stunning defeat with six -legged, did not die her eternal position as a great boxing.

“Smokin” Joe Frazier will always be a legend of this sport, far beyond a ten -year plus since his death.

“He died on November 7, 2011 due to hepatic cancer complications at the age of 67. Joe will live forever throughout the US boxing,” said Chris Cugliari, as the executive director of the US boxing graduates Association, introduced Joe Frazier in 2019.

“His endurance and heart were second to none. Today’s US boxing masters can look at Joe at the definition of the master in the ring and beyond.”

World Boxing News learned about the decision of the World Boxing Organization regarding the possibilities of Usyk vs. Dubois 2.

As WBN revealed last week, Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois submitted a WBO application for consideration of the rematch between the couple this summer.

President Gustavo Olivieri stated that the obligatory date of Joseph Parker in mid -April would be scrapped in favor of the final decision of the WBO Championship Committee.

After Egis Klimas, reports about the conclusion of an agreement between the elderly rivals of Utyk and Dubois for the summer at the Wembley stadium, Olivieri updated worldboxingnews.com about the situation.

“We expect a decision from the championship committee in the next two weeks,” said Olivieri World Boxing News.

Usyk, Master WBO, WBA and WBC, fought only for one obligatory since they won the IBF, WBA and WBO versions from former master Anthony Joshu in September 2021. Ironically, it was against Dubois in August 2023.

The controversy disturbed the fight after a low blow, in which Usyk devoted a lot of time before he finally fired Dubois knockout in Wroclaw in Poland. Since then, Dubois has lobbyed the second chance on both sides to demand an IBF belt without a struggle without a fight.

IBF took the belt from Usyk after the second victory over Tyson Fury in Ruch, which polarized boxing fans. Usyk wants to recover the title of IBF, despite the premature and powerful reception of his championship, with the Fall Guy Parker in this situation.

Parker won the opportunity at the heavyweight championships after he threw Martin Bakole after Dubois withdrew through the disease. At the same time, the sport policy and the fact that Usyk does not have long delay in this fight until December. Parker’s mandatory status is marginalized, because other forces are at stake to make up vs Dubois 2 is the main goal.

I must admit that WBO is working on a complex situation and aims to issue an official ruling that can serene all the involved parties.

WBN believes that Usyk and Dubois will probably fight first at the London Wembley stadium. Parker would guarantee the opportunity to become a heavyweight champion under the agreement in the clash, which is to be the host by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the last third third 2025.

Both competitions would still be under the banner of the Turki Alalshikh and Ring magazine, who seem to have the current monopoly in the heavyweight ward.
