We want to be as close as possible to mandatory soon. “The plan is to continue pushing in the rankings. “The plan for this fight is to give him an appointment that in my eyes is the best he’s faced so far in his career,” said Estephan. Makhmudov’s promoter, Camille Estephan of Eye of the Tiger Management, feels Teper is a step in the right direction. I let my promoter do the work, but I would like to fight one of the big names of my division next.” “For my team and I, every fight is an opportunity to get closer to a title fight against the top guys in my division. “This fight will help me to move forward and get closer to a fight for a world title,” Makhmudov stated. Makhmudov intends to make a statement to the heavyweight division – just two days prior to the Anthony Joshua-Oleksandr Usyk showdown – by emphatically beating Teper.

Boxing for me, it’s not just work, it is a sport that I like and it is my hobby – I like to fight.” “I am always active, I just rested for one week,” he said. The Teper fight comes just two months on from Makhmudov’s first round stoppage of Pavel Sour. He has never faced a fighter with my skills and my power.” It will be a good challenge and it will give me a lot of experience. I will have to be careful of his power, but I am ready because I increased my defensive skills. These punches are very dangerous from Teper. “He has a good overhand right and has his right hook. “He is a good boxer, who beat many top fighters with a lot of experience. “It’s a big chance for me,” Makhmudov (12-0, 12 knockouts) told The Ring. However, the 32-year-old Canada-based Russian expects Teper to provide him with a suitable test. Makhmudov, who was the subject of a New Faces feature in the July 2020 issue of Ring Magazine, has impressed thus far, stopping nine of his 12 professional opponents in the opening round.
