After winning the six-round super-match against
Devon Larratt at King of the Table 4 on June 25th 2022, he was presented with the right hand legacy hammer by
Devon Larratt and was universally recognized as the world #1 (right arm) arm-wrestler by the community. Levan has stated previously that he intends to win every round of every match of his professional supermatch career, and has done so since his first supermatch in 2017. Levan's continuous dominance has led many athletes, experts, and fans alike to believe that there is no one in the current world of armwrestling who stands a chance at defeating him. There are, however, a small number of athletes who are regarded as having the potential to challenge Levan in the future, and it remains to be seen whether or not any of them will succeed in taking the spot of world #1 for themselves.
