Arslanbek Makhmudov, a Big Man with a Big Upside, Turned Pro Last Weekend

Listed anywhere between 6'5 and 6'6 and scaling over 260lbs, this Russian national out of Alania has made hardly a ripple in turning professional this weekend in Toronto, Canada, but it may not be too long before this giant of a man is turning heads right across the world. Makhmudov boxed for Russia as an amateur and was regarded by many as the #1 super-heavyweight in the world, but it was in the World Series of Boxing that he really excelled.
