It’s unclear how acquainted Tank Davis and Martin are with the previous WBC 175-lb champion Gvozdyk as a result of he was retired from 2019 to 2023 and simply returned final 12 months.
Since popping out of retirement, Gvozdyk has had two fights that went below the radar of many followers towards Ričards Bolotņiks and Isaac Rodrigues.

Given the extent of opposition Benavidez has fought all through his profession, we don’t understand how he’ll carry out towards a top quality fighter like Gvozdyk as a result of he’s been matched towards opposition that was largely ham & eggers.
Granted, Benavidez did what he was imagined to do in destroying the fellows he’s fought, however he’s nonetheless not but confronted anybody that you would be able to name a superb fighter. Furthermore, the dimensions benefit that Benavidez has already loved, competing in a division smaller than his physique body, makes it troublesome to understand how he’ll do towards a fighter his measurement.
