WBC interim heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel announced on social media that he will soon reveal details of a homecoming fight in Germany, his native country. This will be his first bout on German soil, back on March 4, 2023, when he stopped Agron Smakici in the third round. Since then, Kabayel has racked up three stoppage wins in Saudi Arabia against Aslanbek Makhumdov, Frank Sánchez and Zhilei Zhang—solidifying himself as a major factor in the heavyweight division. He is promoted by Frank Warren and managed by Spencer Brown. Kabayel’s triumph over Zhang earned him the WBC interim title. Now, after his impressive streak, he will step back into a German ring for the first time in over two years.

 

Promoter Frank Warren stated: “We want to stage a show in Germany this fall, and he would headline. He’s an exciting fighter, with fast hands, good boxing skills, and he can slug it out when he needs to. We already have an opponent in mind, and he’s in a great position. There are lots of interesting fights available for him.” This project also marks Queensberry’s return to Germany after nearly four decades, since the days when Warren co-promoted with Universum Promotions.
