"I know Gvozdyk personally, I've sparred with him. I know what I did to him when I was 20. It will be a great fight; I'm preparing very well, I know he's an excellent fighter.

Gvozdyk is a high-level fighter, very fast, and he has a good right hand. I know what I'm preparing for. I will definitely knock him out," said Benavidez.
