Prominent heavyweight fighters Arslanbek Makhmudov (17-0) and Junior Anthony Wright (20-4-1) are set to demonstrate their talents this upcoming Saturday, October 28^th. Those interested in betting should keep an eye on Makhmudov, who is a strong favorite with odds at -4000.

Makhmudov is coming off of a TKO victory against Raphael Akpejiori to extend his winning streak back in July of this year. This was his second consecutive knockout victory after posting 14 to start his career.

In his 17 wins so far, 16 of them have resulted in knockouts and 11 of them have been in the first round. His likelihood for a knockout now stands at a commanding 94.1 percent.

He currently has the WBC-NABF heavyweight belt and has not given it up yet. Since 2019, he has defended himself with its possession nine times and is aiming for another.

“Lion” has been an absolute monster and a rising contender in the heavyweight division to knock off some of the greats. His orthodox stance is also compelling since he has incredible power in both of his hands.

Wright has won his previous two battles, with both of them being knockouts. His previous knockout success was against Brian Howard back in April of this year.

He has earned a knockout rate of 85 percent, with 17 of his 20 wins coming by knockout. He has earned a title fight once before against Beibut Shumenov in 2016, but suffered a TKO defeat in the 10^th round.

“Hurricane” had much more appealing battles when he was part of the cruiserweight class. After a promising run and failed title attempt, he moved weight classes and is now a “lighter” heavyweight.

When Wright was a cruiserweight, he arguably was bigger than everyone else and had great power. However, this will be the toughest test of his career and one that he desperately needs at 37 years of age to extend his career.

MyBookie is presenting the odds for this competition, with Arslanbek Makhmudov as the undeniable favorite. If you are thinking about placing a bet on Makhmudov, it is worth pondering the idea of including him in a parlay with other matches scheduled for that evening to enhance the potential winnings.

Wright is overwhelmingly outmatched here and bettors can take advantage of the easy pick. However, you could look to explore prop bets on MyBookie that see Makhmudov to win inside six rounds.
