Agit Kabayel was given a big stage on RTL. The heavyweight professional was a guest on “The Stefan Raab Show” and created a great atmosphere in the studio. Kabayel came across as approachable, present and relaxed – and received a noticeable amount of encouragement from the audience on site. He naturally talked about his arranged duel against Oleksandr Usyk, but also gave a few private insights.

The boxing machine duel against the entertainer in particular made the audience laugh. However, it was probably clear to everyone that the Bochum native far surpassed Raab in terms of punching power. With his performance, the “Leberking” took the next step towards a new boxing boom, even if the television reach was rather small. A total of 0.38 million viewers watched the professional boxer’s performance. This gave the show a market share of 3.6 percent.
