Agit Kabayel’s challenge to Oleksandr Usyk is moving into the next round, including in the media: Boxing legend Mike Tyson even makes an appearance in the “Liver King’s” latest video.
“To all the fans waiting for an update—Mike has helped us speed things up a bit,” Agit Kabayel posted on his Instagram account on Saturday. The post included a photo with boxing icon Mike Tyson, with the caption: “So stay tuned.”
Over the weekend, the WBC interim champion met the boxing legend in Berlin, where Tyson opened the world’s largest cannabis expo. It’s now clear: Agit will have “Iron Mike’s” personal support in his challenge against Oleksandr Usyk.
In the next video of the “Push the Horses” social media campaign, Agit keeps trying to get Usyk on the line. But to no avail. Then the “Liver King” from the Ruhr region says, “It’s time to talk to my big brother Mike.” And Agit takes the reins once again…
Agit and his team are proving once again that they have their own unique style of trash talk and can present a sporting challenge—such as the one against the WBC world champion—in a humorous way. Nevertheless, the deadline remains: Oleksandr Usyk has 30 days to accept the fight against Agit Kabayel.
