David Benavidez to Face Oleksandr Gvozdyk for WBC Interim Light Heavyweight Title on June 15

Former Olympian Oleksandr Gvozdyk and undefeated David Benavidez will face off for the WBC interim light heavyweight title on June 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Gvozdyk aims to continue Ukraine's strong boxing performance amidst the ongoing war, while Benavidez seeks to establish himself in the light heavyweight division after dominating as a super middleweight. Benavidez, who has repeatedly called out Canelo Alvarez, predicts a knockout victory but remains focused on his immediate challenge against Gvozdyk. Both fighters have expressed confidence, with Gvozdyk motivated by Benavidez's dismissive attitude and Benavidez feeling physically stronger at the higher weight. The bout is co-main event to the Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin fight, promising an exciting night for boxing fans.
