Kuzmin has a draw with Medzhidov

 

And 9/7 loss Anthony Joshua, interesting.

 

I agree, when WBC will ban Povetkin Ryabinski will put Kuzmin on the forefront.

 

But there were three things positive about last year for him, he fought for minor WBC title, he is being pushed in the WBC ranks, he is going for Wilder.And the second is that he is dropping some weight off.And third thing was that he fought his first step up opponent in a face of Airich.
