King Artur: Beterbiev KOs Gvozdyk
Artur Beterbiev unifies WBC/IBF light heavyweight titles with 10th-round TKO over Oleksandr Gvozdyk
It was a savage light heavyweight battle that lived up to the Philadelphia billing. Artur Beterbeiv, in a back-a-forth affair, knocked out Oleksandr Gvozdyk in the 10th round to unify the WBC/IBF light heavyweight titles Saturday evening at the Liacouras Center.
Beterbiev knocked down Gvozdyk three times in the 10th, as referee Gary Rosato immediately waved off the fight following the third knockdown.
Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) was behind on two of the three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
“We work in the gym We work hard, and we have some targets,” Beterbiev said. “My first target, second target and other one comes soon.
“It doesn’t matter {who I fight next.} Anyone. I’m focused on title, not on name.”
