Dave Allen vs the Russian giant: a fight that will change his career.

Dave Allen prepares for the decisive fight

According to The Sun: Dave Allen is in great shape ahead of the biggest fight of his career against Russian boxer Arslanbek Makhmudov.

The fight will take place at the arena in Sheffield on Saturday, where Allen will face the 6 feet 6 inches tall heavyweight.

The British boxer has notably gained fitness, showcasing his physical preparation in a tracksuit.

In May, he scored the biggest victory of his career, knocking out Johnny Fisher - just six months after a tough defeat in Saudi Arabia.

Promoter Eddie Hearn hinted at a possible fight with former world champion Deontay Wilder if Allen can overcome Makhmudov.

Hearn said: “If Dave Allen beats Makhmudov, he’ll be in line for huge fights.”

“Personally, I like the fight with Deontay Wilder. We’ve reached out to Shelly Finkel [Wilder’s manager] to discuss it, but let’s see what happens on October 11 first.”

“The Utilita Arena in Sheffield will be full. It’s a huge night for Dave, and if he wins, he’ll confidently move towards the biggest fight of his career.”

Makhmudov, resembling a villain from James Bond movies, has a record of 20-2, with his only defeat occurring against Agit Kabayel and Guido Vianello.

In his last outing in June in Canada, he defeated Ricardo Brown, knocking him out in the first round, achieving his 19th knockout in 20 fights.

Arslanbek has unique training methods, including wrestling with BEARS and hitting a hammer to the stomach.

Despite Makhmudov's favorite status, respected trainer Peter Fury, Tyson’s uncle, doubts his readiness.

Peter said: “He is a big guy, but once he gets hit, he starts to crumble and that won’t change.”

“You can be a master, a powerful boxer, but if your heart is the size of a pea, that’s how it will stay.”

“This is boxing, and if you don’t have that, you can’t acquire it. Dave Allen has what Makhmudov lacks.”

Tomorrow, Dave Allen faces an important fight that could significantly change not only his career but also the future of Ukrainian boxing as a whole, if he manages to overcome a strong opponent. Makhmudov is one of the most promising heavyweights, so the meeting between these two boxing stars promises to be extremely exciting and tense.

The bout in Sheffield is attracting a lot of attention, and fans are eagerly awaiting a thrilling battle that could bring new surprises to the world of professional boxing.
