Giant boxer Aslanbeck Mahmoudov, dubbed the "James Bond villain," confessed to wrestling training with a bear ahead of his showdown with Tyson Fury.

Britain's "The Sun" said on the 6th (local time) that Mahmoudov confessed his bizarre training method of "wrestling with bears to get close to death."

Russian Mahmoudov, who boasts an overwhelming physique of 198cm, will face Fury, who will return to the ring on Saturday after reversing his retirement. The media said, "He is compared to the villain of the classic film 'James Bond' among fans due to his characteristic lifelike eyes and threatening attitude. To face Fury, Mahmoudov is playing a terrible training routine."

He is trained to hit his abdomen with a large hammer. What is even more shocking is that UFC legends Khabib Nurmagomedov and fighters from Dagestan intertwined and grappled with huge bears.

Mahmoudov said the reason he faced the giant beast head-on was to truly experience life on the brink. "In my hometown of Dagestan, if you refuse such an offer, you can't avoid it because it looks like you're scared," he said. "I couldn't refuse it, so I accepted, 'OK, let's give it a try.' Bear is a monster, so this was kind of a test for myself," he explained.

He continued, "You could lose your life in just one second. Therefore, it was very interesting to me to be close to the threshold of death," he added.

Born in Mozdok, Russia, Mahmoudov is also training on the highlands in the freezing cold. "Training on snow-covered high mountains increases the body's red blood cell production, consequently significantly improving the ability to inhale oxygen," the media said.

The heavyweight boxing showdown between the two will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 11th.
