Dave Allen could land a mega fight with Anthony Joshua if he can overcome Arslanbek Makhmudov in his next outing.‘The White Rhino’ is set to take a big step up in opposition against Makhmudov following a career-reviving knockout win over Johnny Fisher in May.Allen has three big fight on the horizon if he can beat MakhmudovGettyFisher and Makhmudov are reportedly set to headline the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on October 11.And if Allen comes out of the heavyweight showdown unscathed, then his promoter Eddie Hearn is lining him up for a seven-figure fight with one of the division’s biggest names.“I’ve given him a list of fighters,” Hearn told iFL TV. “He’s chosen the biggest puncher and the most dangerous one of the whole list. And he goes, ‘If I beat him, what will happen?’“I said, ‘Honestly, if you beat this guy, you will land Parker, ‘AJ’, Wilder’. “You will get a massive fight. Probably a seven-figure fight if you win this fight. And he goes, ‘I’m in.”’Beating Makhmudov will be no easy task for Allen.The enormous Russian carries devastating power in both hands and rose through the ranks with serious hype behind him before he came unstuck against Agit Kabayel in December 2023.Prior to the body shot knockout loss, Makhmudov had torn through his first 18 opponents like a freight train.But a follow-up defeat to Guido Vianello last August completely derailed his plans of making a play for a title.Allen is set to face Makhmudov on October 11Joshua and Wilder are possible next opponents for Joshua, according to HearnAs is ParkerGETTYIt’s unclear exactly where Makhmudov fits into the current heavyweight landscape, but a notable win over Carlos Takam in 2022 suggests he is on the fringes of world-level competition.A win over Makhmudov, who is likely to open up as a heavy favourite, would prove Allen is worthy of mixing it with the bigger names in the division.How likely are fights with Wilder, Parker and Joshua?Deontay Wilder seems like the most plausible option as he continues down the comeback trail.Hearn claims ‘The Bronze Bomber’s’ team are ‘interested’ in the fight and that there has been contact between both camps.Parker, on the other hand, is likely in too strong a position to consider taking a step down against Allen, while Joshua could consider his fellow countryman as a tune-up opponent for Tyson Fury.Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has declared that the British heavyweight titans will box once before finally meeting next year.
