Agit Kabayel has made a bold statement, claiming that he is the best opponent for unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. The German boxer, who currently holds the WBC Interim title at heavyweight, is confident in his abilities and believes he can give Usyk problems.
Kabayel's impressive run of victories, including wins over Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois, has earned him a reputation as one of the most formidable opponents in the division. His unbeaten record and ability to stop top-level opposition have led many to suggest that he is the most potential threat to Usyk's reign.
However, Kabayel acknowledges that Usyk will not be defending his title against him in their next fight. Instead, the Ukrainian champion will face Damian Knyba in a non-title bout on January 10th, and then proceed with his scheduled title defense later this year.
For Kabayel, the opportunity to fight for the unified heavyweight championship is too great to pass up. He believes that he can be a commercial draw for the fight, particularly in Germany, where he has been able to sell out an arena just five days after announcing his upcoming bout against Knyba.
"I think when I make one or two more fights in Germany, I'm ready for Usyk," Kabayel declared. "I love big challenges." The 32-year-old fighter is confident that he can pose a threat to Usyk's reign and is eager to put himself on the line against the champion.
Despite his confidence, Kabayel recognizes that Usyk has never lost in his career and will be a formidable opponent for him. Nevertheless, the German boxer remains undeterred and is determined to make it clear to Usyk's team that he is ready for a fight with the unified heavyweight champion. As he put it, "I say let's go, Kabayel against Usyk. He never lost in his career, I never lost in my career. I think this is the best fight for the fans. But it is what it is."
