Makhmudov returned to the ratings as a Canadian boxer

In early March, the WBA excluded most of the Russian boxers from its ratings. A month later, some of them reappeared in the World Boxing Association rating, but under different flags. Returned to the ranking among others and Arslanbek Mahmudov, who will now box under the Canadian flag.

Mahmudov is now eighth in the heavyweight ranking. The first in this division is Daniel Dubois, who in June will fight for the regular championship belt with Trevor Bryan.
