Gvozdyk will fight in the new organization formed by Turki Al-Sheikh
Former world light heavyweight champion (up to 79.4 kg) Alexander Gvozdyk (21-2, 17 KOs) is likely to fight his next fight under the auspices of new organization Zuffa Boxing.
Zuffa Boxing is a professional boxing promotional company founded by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White and General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Chairman Turki Al-Sheikh.
This is a closed organization where each weight will have a champion and its own roster of boxers. White and Al-Sheikh have repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction with the presence of multiple champions in each division (WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF).
Gvozdyk’s opponent will be multiple world title challenger Radivoje Kalajdzic (29-3, 21 KOs), who represents the United States but is a citizen of Serbia.
The event will take place on February 1 at the Meta Apex arena in Las Vegas (USA). The fight was reported by insider and columnist Dan Rafael.
