Dave Allen Must Beat Makhmudov to Land Wilder Fight “

Eddie Hearn Is Amped His Fighter, Going Into HEAVYWeight Clash in The Main Event Against Arslank MakhMudov on October 11 on the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.

Hearn Plots Wilder Route

Matchroom promoter Hearn Wants to Fight Between Allen (24-7-2, 19 Kos) and Former Heavyweight Champion Wilder IF Things Go Well for Him Against MakhMudov (20-2, 19 Kos).

It’s Going To Be Far Is The Best Opponent Allen, 33, Has Severh-Round Knockout Loss to Luis Ortiz On Luis Ortiz. Over the Last Nine Years, Allen Has Fighter British Fighters And A Few From countries. No One That You Can Call A Good Fighter.

Allen Is Coming Off A Big Fifth-Round Knockout Win Over Johnny Fisher On May 17, 2025, in London. He Overwhelmed Fisher, Dropping Him Twice in the Fifth Round, Prompting His Trainer to Throw in The Towel.

“IF Dave Allen Makhmudov, He’s Going Himsel Line. I Like The Deontay Fight. I Like The Deontay Wilder Fight. I’ve Reached Out to Shelly Fink,” Said Promoter Eddie Hearn Matchroom.

Wilder’s Declining Power

The 39-year-old Wilder (44-4-1, 43 Kos) isn’t Much of A Step Up at this Point in His Career. Wilder has lost four out of His Last Six Fights Since 2020, and The Big Right Hand That Once Defined Him Is Now Gone.

Makhmudov The Mountain

He’s not generating power with that hand Any Longer to a Shoulder Problem. He Does a Good Fallback Option To Bail Him Out Against Anyone, Even The Likes of Allen. Hearn Hasn’t What He Wants To Do Allen If He Defeats MakhMudov And Wilder Back-to-Back Fights. If He’s Got Something Big Planned, Like Matching Allen Against Anthony Joshua, That Would Be Interesting.

“Let’s See October 11th. A Massive Night for Dave. If He gets The Job Done, He’s Going To Walk Into A Massive Fight,” Said Hearn.

Wilder’s Fights Are No longer considered “Massive” in The US, But in the Uk, He’s Still A Big Name. It Wouldn’t Be A PPV-Worthy Fight, Allen vs. Wilder, but it wouldn’t be surfing IF That’s Where Hearn Puts It.

Allen’s Biggest Test Yet
