This Saturday’s installment of Top Rank Boxing on ESPN features a junior welterweight title unification bout between Terence Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) and Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs). The winner of this matchup will be the true “undisputed” king of 140-pounds, as all four major belts are on the line.
What this post is focusing on is the man in the co-feature. Ukraine’s Oleksandr Gvozdyk has quickly become one of the best light heavyweights in the world, sporting a professional record of 13-0 with 11 KOs. Ghana’s Michael Gbenga went the distance with him twice, and while his record isn’t sparkling, he’s one of those common journeyman “opponents” who is hard to put away.
