Makhmudov remains undefeated with an impressive record of 13 wins, all of them coming before the limit.

Rising heavyweight power-puncher Arslanbek Makhmudov will face veteran Erkan Teper at the Centre Videotron in Quebec City, Canada on Thursday.

The fearsome Makhmudov (12-0, 12 knockouts) will be making a quick return to the ring after stopping Pavel Sour in the opening round last month.
