WBC Interim heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel (28-2) from Germany has announced on social media that details of a big homecoming show will be revealed in the next few weeks.
Kabayel last fought in Germany on March 4, 2023, when he stopped hard punching Croatian Agron Smakici in three rounds - but not before being hurt in the second round.
This was followed by three stoppage wins in Riyadh over Aslanbek Makhumov, Frank Sanchez and Zhilei Zhang. Since beating Zhang, Kabayel, now promoted by Frank Warren and managed by Spencer Brown, has been waiting for news regarding his next step.
Kabayel came up the hard way fighting on small shows and participated in the Bigger is Better Tournament, where he went 2-2 in fights that aren't recognized by BoxRec nor the new Fight Fax.
In 2014 Kabayel was described as "raw and seemingly unfit" by Danny Flexen in Boxing News after beating Gbenga Oluokun. Kabayel was then all set to fight July 26 the same year on a small show in Kaarst - however, due to a big fight among the small crowd, the rest of the event was cancelled.
Kabayel was then signed by SES and his career took off. A big break seemed to be on its way when Top Rank signed him up but the US career never took off.
Still, Kabayel plugged away and here we are.
