Dave Allen announces the fight against the terrifying Russian knockout artist
Dave Allen will face the destructive Puncher in the next fight.
Allen, winning the best victory in his career with Johnny Fisher in the rematch, will deal with Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov on October 11 at Utilita Arena in Sheffield.
“White Rhino” was controversial with a divided decision against Fisher in December, but dismantled a man from Romford with the demolition of the fifth round to the Copper Box Arena in May.
The 33-year-old secured the title of WBA Intercontinental Heavyweight, which will be on the line against Makhmudov and currently takes nine years, and WBA for Oleksandr Uyk, which has all four main titles after him Fifth round victory over Daniel Dubois last month.
Allen talked to the British champion, Jeamie TKV, but this fight fell on the march after the Londonian received the order to defend his crown against Frazer Clarke.
“In Arslanbek Makhmudov, I think this is really the biggest available test,” said Allen.
“He looks like a role. He had very good wins and has a high global ranking.
“The victory over him will put me there on the world stage.
“It can be a shot.
“And I can enter as weaker. But I’m ready for it.
“This is the last shot at a great time for me.”
Makhmudov won his first 18 professional duels at a distance, but his perfect record shot in four rounds by Tetim Titlist, Agit Kabayel in December 2023.
The 36-year-old suffered another failure, stopped in eight rounds by Guido Vianelllo in August last year, although in June he bounced Ricardo Brown from the first round.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to face a real warrior, such as David Allen on October 11,” said Makhmudov.
“I know he wouldn’t avoid war with me.
“But enough conversation – it’s time to hunt, and soon the time will come to raise your hand.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
