Focus remains on Makhmudov
However, the self-styled Gypsy King must first navigate a challenging test against formidable Russian-Canadian contender Makhmudov.
He knows that any unexpected slip-up in his next outing could permanently derail the prospect of an all-British super-fight.

Boxing fans have grown increasingly frustrated over the years by previous failed negotiations between the two rival camps.
Despite those past contractual setbacks, the Mancunian’s latest comments will reignite hopes that a historic stadium spectacle can finally be agreed.
A successful victory over Makhmudov would ultimately clear the path for what promises to be one of the most lucrative events in British sporting history.
