As we reported earlier, on February 11 in Pomona (USA) the ex-world champion in light heavyweight (up to 79.4 kg) Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk (17-1, 14 KOs) will return to the professional ring, whose opponent will be the 39-year-old Argentine
Jorge Daniel Miranda (58-21, 22 KOs).
Alexander spoke about the preparation for the fight, the current team and the opponent for
Luckypunch.net.
“I have been preparing for a comeback since sparring with Zurdo Ramirez when he trained for Bivol, but the dates kept getting pushed back. This happened three times. Therefore, now I will be finally happy only when I find myself in the ring, – said Gvozdyk. – I was preparing for a 10-round fight, but as it turned out, it was not so easy to pick up an opponent, because the prospects do not want, and the journimen want a lot of money. Therefore, they chose from what is. Wanted to finally complete this sluggish? 6 month long camp. On the other hand, maybe it’s good that it’s like that, after all, it’s been a break for more than three years, it would be good to get a feel for the ring before big challenges.”
Alexander said that he is now training under the guidance of his first pro coach Marco Contreras, and Eddie Reynoso helped organize the fight.
“Regarding Miranda, I’m not going to underestimate anyone, but I won’t throw fluff either,” says the Ukrainian about the opponent. I will try to get through as many rounds as possible. But if I have problems with him, then perhaps returning is not a good idea at all.
