Undefeated world heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel has given his Anthony Joshua vs Arslanbek Makhmudov prediction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This comes after talk that Makhmudov wants to fight ‘AJ’ next following his unanimous decision victory over Dave Allen on October 11th in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Agit Kabayel Gives Anthony Joshua vs Arslanbek Makhmudov Prediction<\/h2>\n

After his one-sided victory over Dave Allen in their Sheffield heavyweight match-up, Arslanbek Makhmudov has his sights firmly set on a clash with Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

Makhmudov beat ‘The White Rhino’ via unanimous decision in a fight he won comfortably. Following his victory over Allen, the Russian heavyweight has called for a clash with former two-time world heavyweight champion ‘AJ’.<\/p>\n

Anthony Joshua’s record<\/a> may now have four defeats on it, but boxing betting sites would still have him as a firm favourite to beat Makhmudov if the pair indeed fought next.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether this is the case or not, with Eddie Hearn eying a ring return for Joshua early in the New Year. It remains to be seen who Joshua will fight upon his return, but Makhmudov is certainly an option now.<\/p>\n

Although ‘AJ’ would undoubtedly be a huge pre-fight favourite, not everyone thinks it would be a routine fight for the Brit. Undefeated heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel is one of those who feels the fight would be far closer than people might think.<\/p>\n

Kabayel handed Makhmudov the first defeat of his career in December 2023, stopping the previously unbeaten Russian in four rounds.<\/p>\n

The German heavyweight has also shared hundreds of rounds of sparring with Joshua, having been a mainstay during various of Joshua’s training camps over the years.<\/p>\n

As a man who has shared the ring with both Joshua and Makhmudov, Kabayel feels the fight would be a close one. Not only does Kabayel think Joshua vs Makhmudov would be close, but he could even see ‘AJ’ losing.<\/p>\n
