Jack Della Maddalena is aiming for a comeback in April or May, with his coach Ben Vickers mentioning Carlos Prates as a possible opponent. Della Maddalena is looking to bounce back after losing his welterweight title to Islam Makhachev. A fight against Prates would be a striking match, aligning with the team's preference.
In related news, Shavkat Rakhmonov has suffered another knee injury and is expected to be out for nine months. Rakhmonov, who missed all of 2025 due to knee issues, last fought in December 2024, defeating Ian Machado Garry. This injury sidelines the No. 2 ranked welterweight again.
