The first BOXSPORT special now available for free in the app!
Agron Smakici, Arslanbek Makhmudov and Frank Sanchez: Agit Kabayel has impressively prevailed against numerous heavyweights over the past two years. The 32-year-old has not only shown that he can take a punch. With four knockout victories in his last four fights, the Bochum native has impressively demonstrated the power that lies within him. And this despite the fact that Agit is one of the smaller boxers in the limit with a height of 1.91 meters. This has secured him a place in the top ten of three of the four major world associations (WBC #1, WBA #6 and WBO #3).
Now Kabayel will face the next colossus, Zhilei Zhang, on February 22 in Riyadh – this time the two fighters are separated by seven centimetres. In my view, another perfect match-up for the “Liver King” on his way to the world title in the “Champions League” of boxing.
Reason enough for BOXSPORT to rummage through the archives and put together a magazine special on the rise of our great German heavyweight hope. From the failed negotiations for a fight with Marco Huck in 2021 to a detailed analysis of the duel with China’s Zhilei “Big Bang” Zhang – here are all the important stories, analyses and rankings!
