Road to
the Final.
Brooklyn boxing, built the hard way. Valeriy Gradskov fights for the New York title — with his father and coach, Mike, in his corner since day one.
One night. One title.
USA Boxing Metro — Metropolitan Championships Final. Valeriy Gradskov steps in for the New York Championship title in the 125 lbs Novice division.
Gradskov vs Opponent
TBA
Valeriy Gradskov
Valeriy doesn't chase fights — he controls them. Distance, a piston jab, and footwork that keeps him exactly where he wants to be: the Dmitry Bivol school of boxing, learned round by round in Brooklyn gyms.
Four straight wins carried him through the Metropolitan Championships to the final. On November 20 he fights for the New York title — and the whole city is invited to watch the last step of the road.
Distance
Fights at his range, not yours. Every exchange starts on his terms.
The Jab
A range-finder, a weapon, and a wall — all in one punch.
Footwork
In and out, side to side. Hard to hit, harder to corner.
Control
Calm under pressure. Rounds are won before the bell, in the work nobody sees.
Sunday
Sparring
Two angles. One truth.
Sundays are for sparring at New York Fight Club — open rounds, real work, no shortcuts. We film it from two angles and publish the best of it every week. This is where the final is being built, one Sunday at a time.
Follow #SundaySparring on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook — and if you want in the ring instead of on the screen, your first week of training is free.
The team behind the fighter
A father in the corner. A Mexican school of pads and patience. One small Brooklyn team, all in.
Michael “Mike” Gradskov
Valeriy's father and head coach — in his son's corner since the very first round. He built this team the way he built his fighter: patiently, honestly, and with no interest in shortcuts.
Jesús Ramírez
The Mexican school in the corner: pads, timing, and calm instructions between rounds. If Valeriy's crown gets set straight on fight night, it will be these hands that set it.
