Camille Estephan has sent a chilling warning to Dave Allen ahead of his high-stakes showdown with knockout artist Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Dave Allen is back, and once again stepping into the fire. The British fan-favorite has agreed to face Arslanbek Makhmudov, one of the most feared punchers in the heavyweight division. Known for taking punishing assignments with a smile, Allen confirmed the news. Dave Allen’s Fearless Choice “Big fight agreed my end, fight news imminent, not imminent imminent just imminent but it’s a good one,” said Allen, which was confirmed to be Makhmudov soon after. He added, “After weeks of back and forth with Eddie Hearn about my next opponent, last week he sent me a list of five. All five I thought would be big favourites against me but only one of them actually scared me, so with that, I chose him (Arslanbek) in the hope after all these years, he helps me put in the perfect training camp and can put me on the world heavyweight stage. “He could also knock me into the middle of next week, but got to be in it to win it.” The reaction to the fight is mixed, with one person stating on social media that Allen has ‘signed up for another beating.’ Makhmudov: Power vs. Inconsistency Nicknamed “The Lion,” Makhmudov (20-2, 19 KOs) is coming off indifferent form and could be a significant reason for Allen and Hearn’s choice. The Russian is known to be inconsistent, which is evident in his last four bouts. Makhmudov can be devastating and equally vulnerable at the same time. Therefore, Allen will be able to exploit those weaknesses if he employs the right tactics. The fact that Makhmudov holds a ranking in the top fifteen of most sanctioning bodies also helps the cause. Makhmudov has built a brutal reputation as one of the sport’s most dangerous early-round knockout artists. His sheer size and aggression have stopped all but one of his opponents before the final bell. Allen (24-7-2, 19 KOs), who once famously went the distance with Dillian Whyte and took hellacious beatings from David Price, Luis Ortiz, and Tony Yoka, is fresh from two wins over Johnny Fisher. The first was a highly debatable point loss (which Allen won). He followed that up with a crushing knockout in the rematch. The 33-year-old from Doncaster remains ever willing to throw himself into the deep end. High Stakes Known as “The Doncaster De La Hoya,” Allen has built a career on surviving where others falter and capitalizing on big nights. Like many others before him, Makhmudov is a different kind of animal, one who comes to an end things early and violently. The Yorkshireman will have to prove, yet again, that he’s learned a lot since his days of being a journeyman opponent. Makhmudov’s punching power is legitimate, and with Allen’s history of absorbing punishment, questions again will be raised about whether this is a smart move for a fighter with a young family and a known history of taking heavy shots. That said, Allen’s durability, chin, and sheer audacity make him a cult hero in British boxing, and fans will no doubt tune in to see how long he can last this time. The fight will land on a Matchroom card later this year after Eddie Hearn rekindled his interest in a resurgent Allen. A London headliner could be incoming, where the heavyweight chancer’s promoter continues to feed him to the lions. The risk is great for Allen, but when has it not been for the likable puncher? However, he knows that with a win, the reward will be even greater. About the Author Phil Jay is a veteran boxing journalist with over 15 years of experience covering the global fight scene.

Arslanbek Makhmudov is no stranger to punishment, but even by heavyweight standards, his preparation for Dave Allen on October 11 is extreme. Known for his freakish size and raw power, ‘The Lion’ has trained his body in ways few fighters would even contemplate. That includes bracing his solar plexus while being pounded with sledgehammers and, more memorably, squaring off against a bear in a wrestling match. It’s a subject WBN has broached before to Makhmudov, who exclusively opened up during his previous camp, having already updated worldboxingnews.com during his preparations for Allen. When asked by World Boxing News what it was like to grapple with a wild animal, Makhmudov was blunt. Bear Wrestling is a Test of Bravery “It started with my friend asking me if I wanted to wrestle a bear, and I said, ‘Of course,'” Makhmudov told WBN. “It was very scary, for sure. It’s an animal, so it’s literally wild, but I took it as a test because I always like to be challenged.” The viral video of the heavyweight tangling with the beast quickly went viral on social media. But the 36-year-old insists the stunt had meaning beyond clicks. “I think most of the reaction was positive. Of course, some people didn’t understand why I did that. But, like I said, for me, it was like a test. Not just physically but also mentally. “I do think you need to do something like this. I may not make the bear part of my boxing training, but I can train my bravery with him, of course!” The Ultimate Challenge for Dave Allen Makhmudov now turns his full attention to Allen, who heads into the clash believing his durability and experience can cause problems. But for ‘The Lion,’ a man who treats sledgehammers and bears as part of his conditioning, surviving twelve rounds might prove to be Allen’s real fight. “I think boxing is very dangerous. So you have to be a bit crazy to go into the ring, even more with me. But I respect him as a warrior because without crazy boxers, boxing wouldn’t be the same,” Makhmudov told WBN on the Allen fight. The one thing Dave Allen doesn’t lack, unlike the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, is heart, while Makhmodov is certainly no Cowardly Lion. It all goes down on October 11 in Sheffield, England.

Arslanbek Makhmudov has promised to dish out more punishment than David Price when he collides with Dave Allen on October 11 in an exclusive interview with World Boxing News. Allen famously took a sustained beating from Price in 2019, a bout that saw the Yorkshireman need oxygen in the corner before the fight was eventually halted. Makhmudov, known as ‘The Lion,’ says he expects to push Allen even further into dangerous territory when the pair collide in Sheffield on October 11. The David Price defeat “Yes, he is a tough guy. I like challenge, and one thing that is interesting me about this one is that he is a warrior,” Makhmudov told WBN. “But the Price fight was a few years ago. I can’t speak for him, but we will see what he needs in the corner after a war with me.” The Russian powerhouse also reflected on the setbacks that have shaped his career. Two defeats appear on his record, but both, he says, came under compromised circumstances. “Of course, I broke my hand in the first one, and you know offense is a big part of my style. In the other, you can clearly see that I couldn’t see,” he explained. “But this is boxing. Outside of injuries, those losses also teach me to be a better professional boxer. Do more in the gym, train harder, listen more to my coaches, because details make difference sometime, injury or not.” Makhmudov on the hunt As for what fans can expect on fight night, Makhmudov didn’t hesitate to lay down a warning. “When I fight, it’s not about a knockout; it’s more than that. I come to hunt. Go to war. I’m the Lion, that’s what I do, and you will see that on October 11.” With a reputation for destructive finishes and a renewed drive after setbacks, Makhmudov insists Allen will be walking into the most brutal fight of his career. If his prediction holds true, the night could end far worse for the ‘White Rhino’ than it did against Price.
