Dmitriy Kel | Published March 2, 2024, 2:44 a.m.

Russian super featherweight Arslanbek Makhmudov has spoken out about his early defeat to Agitu Cabayelu and also stated his desire to face former WBC champion American Deontay Wilder in his next fight.

"Sometimes losing is better than winning because you relax too much. It woke me up and now I realize that I need to train harder to get to the next professional level. I'm going to change my training and my mindset. I have to give it my all.

Honestly, yes, I would fight Wilder. It would be a good fight because he's a puncher, I'm a puncher too, we have power. A good fight that the fans will like," WorldBoxingNews quoted Makhmudov as saying.
