Heavyweight standout Agit Kabayel returns to action this weekend against Damian Knyba.
Kynba looks to spoil the show as Kabayel headlines in his home country of Germany.
The 33-year-old has stamped his name on the heavyweight scene as one of the world’s best with some massive wins on multiple Riyadh Season cards over the last few years.
On the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin, Kabayel ripped up the script of rising name Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Makhmudov went into their clash in 2023 unbeaten and recognised as one of the hardest hitters in the division.
Kabayel completely outclassed Makhmudov before stopping him in the fifth round.
The fight was over before the end of the seventh round.
In his last fight, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career as he went down in the third round of his clash with 41-year-old Zhilei Zhang.
He got the better of Zhang nevertheless, ending the fight with a brutal body shot in the sixth that took him to [26-0-0 18ko’s].
Kabayel puts his WBC interim world heavyweight title on the line against Knyba, an unbeaten Polish heavyweight coming into the contest with an impressive record of [17-0-0 11 KOs].
Kabayel will undoubtedly be the biggest step up of Knyba’s career as he looks to take the interim title, with the winner closing in on a shot at unified champion, Usyk.
Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions promote the show live from Oberhausen on Saturday.
