Makhmudov's opponent has changed

There are only nineteen days left before the tournament in Saudi Arabia. In the main fight of the evening, the WBC heavyweight champion will meet with an MMA star in a boxing match. It will be a great show, but there probably needs to be more sports on the schedule, per se.

Initially, Agron Smakichi (19-2, 17 KOs) was supposed to meet Makhmudov, but his opponent would ultimately be former WBA cruiserweight belt contender Anthony Wright (20-4-1, 17 KOs).
