Mahmudov: "I Would Fight Wilder"

34-year-old heavyweight (over 90,7 kg) boxer Arslanbek Mahmudov (18-1, 17 KOs) has expressed his readiness to face Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs).

"Honestly, yes, I would fight Wilder. It would be a great fight because he's a puncher, I'm a puncher; we both have power. It would be a good fight that fans would love," Mahmudov said.

Both fighters last entered the ring in December 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Mahmudov suffered a technical knockout loss to Agit Kabayel (24-0, 16 KOs), while Wilder lost to Joseph Parker (34-3, 23 KOs) by unanimous decision.
