Dave Allen v Arslanbek Makhmudov

Dave Allen is taking on a beast and I do not think he can win this fight. If he wins he could face Wilder next and that would be insane because he would get obliterated but is Wilder that shot he could lose.

Dave Allen will face the challenge of Arslanbek Makhmudov on Saturday, October 11th, 2025, at Sheffield Arena, Sheffield.

Dave Allen steps into the ring with a record of 24 wins, 7 losses, and 2 draws, 19 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

Arslanbek Makhmudov will make his way to the ring with a record of 20 wins, 2 losses and 0 draws, with 19 of those wins by knockout.

Pulling for Dave on this one. Arslanbek has been a huge disappointment in my estimation, but looking back at it now, he never had the skills to begin with.

I thought Makhmudov was gonna be a killer beast not long ago, but sometimes when fighters like him get found out, they’re never the same.
I watched an interview with Peter Fury the other day , and although I felt he was a tad harsh on Makhmudov , saying he had a heart like a pea, he does talk a lot of sense.
Allen has got a lot of savvy and I’m hoping he can get through this.
I totally get that he needed to be scared to get the best out of himself. And to be honest , if he wins this, I hope he does get the Wilder fight because I reckon that’ll be easier than this.

Looking forward to this one. Has anyone ever considered doing a movie of Allen ;D ?

i like dave, he's had a tough route but i think he gets beaten up here. i would be happy to see him pull off the upset but it looks like easy money with those odds

That is what I am thinking but Makhmudov has lost twice and seems a bit vulnerable. I think Allen will lose but hope he wins.

should be fun

Uddin won English flyweight title, Padley won a close contest against Ballotti.

Bostan v Fawaz is turning into a blinder.

Made it in for the 10th round and onto the main. Really no idea who the undercard guys are.

Dave Allen did well at the end of the second round but he is behind. The bodyshots are working.

That atmosphere is off the charts. That’s why uk fights belong in the uk 😆. Gave Makhmudov 1,2 but Allen having a few spots and jarring left hooks. Cracked him low too and Mak started the shaking the head thing he does. I think that’s a major tell on him. Did it with Guido and Agit a lot after getting in trouble. It’s a weird habit. Allen better 3rd and Mak trying to be smart.

Allen 4 rounds down but now Dave should start taking over hopefully.

Mak starting to clinch and hold the head of Allen and ref warns him. Thought Allen nicked the 4th. Getting home here in the 5th!

Tiny signs on panic in Mak after that from Allen. Gave Allen 4 and 5
