Frank Warren has confirmed that one of the sport’s leading heavyweight contenders, Agit Kabayel, will return to action in Germany on January 10.
Kabayel will defend his WBC interim title, and although an opponent has not been confirmed, he will box at the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen.
Kabayel’s record is 26-0 (18 KOs) and the 6ft 3ins 33-year-old is in-form and coming off three high-profile wins over Arslanbek Makhmudov, Frank Sanchez, and Zhilei Zhang.
Makhmudov had been unbeaten in 18 fights and Sanchez in 24, but they were defeated in four and seven rounds respectively, while Zhang was stopped in six.
On a short promotional video on Queensberry Promotions’ social channels, Warren said: “Boxing’s back in Germany.”
