Gvozdyk on Whether Usyk Deserves to Be at the Top of P4P Rankings

Ukrainian former light heavyweight champion (up to 79.4 kg) Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) responded to the question of whether undisputed heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) deserved to be at the top of the P4P rankings.

«No doubt about it. Of course, there are great fighters like Terence Crawford, Canelo, and other guys, but who can argue against Usyk deserving the number one spot in the P4P rankings right now?» said Gvozdyk.

On the night of May 19, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) by split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. Usyk is the first undisputed champion in this division since November 13, 1999, when Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in a rematch.

On June 15 in Las Vegas, USA, Oleksandr Gvozdyk will face David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) for the interim WBC light heavyweight title.
