Makhmudov made his professional debut on 8 December 2017, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Jaime Barajas at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Canada.[6]

He scored four stoppage wins in 2018, with TKOs over Christian Larrondo in April;[7] Elder Hernandez in May;[8] and Emilio Zarate in October;[9] followed by a knockout (KO) over Andrew Satterfield in November.[10]

Following first-round TKO victories over Jason Bergman in January[11] and Avery Gibson in March 2019,[12] he fought for his first professional title against Jonathan Rice on 17 May at the Montreal Casino. Makhmudov captured the vacant WBC Continental Americas heavyweight title via seventh-round TKO.[13] He won his second regional championship, the WBC-NABF heavyweight title, via third-round TKO against Julian Fernandez on 28 September at the Montreal Casino.[14] The first defence of his WBC-NABF title came against former world champion, Samuel Peter, on 7 December at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Makhmudov retained his title via first-round TKO.[15] Makhmudov made his second title defense against Dillon Carman on 10 October 2020.[16] He won the fight by a first-round technical knockout, stopping Carman after just 27 seconds.[17]

On 23 July 2021, Mahmudov faced Pavel Sour in the second defense of his WBC-NABF title fight and in a fight for the vacant WBA-NABA heavyweight title.[18] He won the fight by a first-round knockout, stopping Sour with a right straight after just 37 seconds.[19] Makhmudov made the first defense of the two titles against Erkan Teper on 23 September 2021.[20] He won the fight by a first-round stoppage, as Teper retired from the fight at the end of the round.[21]
