Saudis will love Kabayel

[JakeTheBoxer]

He is a modest Islamic man from Germany, his origins are Kurdisch. It is better having an Islamic champion, than these guys thanking to Jesus Christ and kissing the cross in the middle of Arabian world.

Kabayel will be one of key figures next year when one ore more belts become vacant. Saudis will put the money behind him and everybody will want to fight him.

And he is good also. I believe he can beat everybody not named Usyk , Fury or Joshua.

Very interesting fighter. Practically ran right through his last two opponents. He might be a problem. I wonder who they'll match him with next?

[Smash]

not all islamic guys like each other

im not too sure how much the saudis like the kurds?

are the kurds not linked to iran in some way who the saudis hate as far as i know

maybe some with good knowledge on this could chime in

Kabayel is OK, but let's put things in perspective: he beat a one-legged Sanchez, and Makhmudov, as we have seen, was grossly overrated.

I still want to see him fighting someone at the very top level to see what he can do.

He was un underdog in both fights. He is alreday n.4. by the Ring.

I don' t know if he beats top guys, but he deserves a shot.

Kabayel somehow became one of the most accomplished fighters in the HW division in the span of 6 months. Probably only behind AJ, Parker and Usyk.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gives Usyk a lot of trouble considering that he actively makes his opponents wilt through body work, though I think the Ukrainian would win decisively.

But who will he fight?

No one in the top ten will risk a fights vs. him and the big names are all tied up with fights. He might have to wait until Usyk get stripped of another belt, or reties.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Don`t be surprised if Fury and Usyk will be adviced by Turki to retire, so that Kabayel can fight Parker for hw supremacy.

Usyk kisses orthodox cross and Fury mentions Jesus all the time. Not a good look.

yes this is a very likely scenario to happen

i would put the odds of turki doing this at about .0000000001%

He is Kurdish, but the sticking point may be if he practices Shia or Sunni Islam. Saudi is majority Sunni. Iran is majority Shia. Kurds can go either way.
