Akpejiori

Montreal-based wrecking ball, Arslanbek Makhmudov, will take on Nigeria’s Raphael Akpejiori in a 10-round heavyweight fight on July 1, 2023. The Makhmudov-Akpejiori showdown rounds out a doubleheader featuring four undefeated knockout artists with a combined record of 64 wins and 61 stoppages. Anderson-Kossobutskiy and Makhmudov-Akpejiori will be broadcast live on ESPN, according to a BoxingScene report.   Jared ‘The Real Big Baby’ Anderson will collide with Kazakhstan’s Zhan Kossobutskiy in a 10-round, main event, at Toledo’s Huntington Centre. Anderson will fight for the first time as a professional in his hometown, just a few days shy of the 104th anniversary of Jack Dempsey’s historic win over Jess Willard on July 4, 1919, at Toledo’s Bay View Park.
