Dave Allen vs Arslanbek Makhmudov – results and post-fight report
On Saturday in Sheffield, Arslanbek Makhmudov won the WBA Intercontinental heavyweight title with a dominant scoring victory over Dave Allen.
Allen was coming off a win in his rematch with Johnny Fisher in May, stopping “The Romford Bull” in five rounds, while Makhmudov was fresh off a first-round loss to Ricardo Brown in June.
As expected, Makhmudov (21-2, 19 KO) started well, landing a solid right hand in the first round and a flurry of punches that caught Allen’s attention in the second round.
Allen (24-8-2, 19 KO) was successful in the third round, supporting the Russian, but the guests were in the lead.
After another solid form, the 36-year-old began to tire and the “White Rhino” finished a respectable fifth place, with Makhmudov holding on at several points, ultimately losing him a point in round seven.
“The Lion” continued to land eye-catching punches, but he had a crisis in the ninth when an uppercut followed by a combination sent him flying backwards, and he did well to keep the ship steady, winning round ten.
Although Allen fought back, he was unable to maintain his successes, and Makhmudov prevailed in the argument, although he was deducted another point for holding on in the final session, but his victory was not in doubt when the fight came to airy.
The scores of 117-109, 116-110 and 115-111 sealed the victory of the guest who led to the clash with Anthony Joshua then.
“Hey, Anthony Joshua,” Makhmudov said DAZN.
“I’m coming for you, brother, I’m ready, brother.
“Anthony Joshua, let me know when.”

Eddie Hearn did not contact Deontay Wilder about fighting Anthony Joshua after signing a contract to fight Tyson Fury, his manager Shelly Finkel claims.
There has been speculation that Joshua could return against Wilder before he faces Fury.
Instead, the 36-year-old will return to the ring on July 25 against Kristian Prengi, before facing Fury in November.
Wilder called out longtime rival “AJ” after his victory over Derek Chisora earlier this month.
The pair have been linked to a clash since both men held world heavyweight titles in 2018, and Finkel believes Joshua had no interest in fighting the “Bronze Bomber.”
“You can’t be disappointed with something that never happened,” Finkel said Heavenly sports.
“Eddie never contacted us and Joshua obviously had no intention of fighting Deontay Wilder.
“Same antique story, just modern date.”
Joshua and Wilder were scheduled to fight in March 2024, but the American was defeated by Joseph Parker in December 2023.
“AJ” will fight for the first time since he knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round in December.
Ten days later, the two-time world heavyweight champion was involved in a tragic car accident that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
Saudi Arabian boxing boss Turki Alalshikh announced that Joshua and Fury have signed a contract for their mega fight in a post on the website X on Monday, which read: “To my friends in the UK – it’s happening. This is signed.

Moments later, Joshua’s return was announced against unknown Albanian Prengi.
“It’s no secret that I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready to get back into the ring, and today is the next step in that journey,” Joshua said.
“I am delighted to have agreed to a multi-fight contract starting on July 25 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
“I’m looking forward to competing and continuing where I left off.
“Like I said. The landlord will collect rent. That’s for sure.”
Fury defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov on points in his return to the ring following his retirement earlier this year.
“The Gypsy King” called “AJ”, who was watching the gala from the side of the ring, and declared that he would retire again if the fight with his rival did not take place.
However, his manager Spencer Brown revealed that he may fight again ahead of his fight with Joshua.
