However, there’s one hiccup that can potentially hamper a match between Devon and Levan. The latter, who is the champion of the Professional Armwrestling League (PAL), may or may not receive the green light from the organisation president Igor Mazurenko to face Larratt.

However, in the conversation with Bowen, Levan himself showed a positive reaction when asked about the same, acknowledging that PAL will allow the Larratt match.
