You really have to hand it to unbeaten heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel. Very much an old school fighter in as much as he will fight anyone, anywhere, with the German really earning his shot at the world title, Kabayel is absolutely a guy to root for.
If “retired” former heavyweight champ Tyson Fury wanted some more motivation to make a return to the ring – this along with the carrot that is a massive money fight with Anthony Joshua, the fight still very much there for him should he want it – he has it.
Boxing fans the world over sure got a great show last night/afternoon, depending on your location, this as “The Last Crescendo” delivered.
Former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) became the new undisputed champion on Saturday night, beating previously undefeated champ Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) by a highly competitive 12-round majority decision in their clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The official weigh-in ahead of tomorrow night’s huge DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has taken place, and the big men of the sport really did raise some eyebrows with their respective weights.
Unbeaten heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel is a known body puncher and plenty of experts feel the German’s efficiency at going to work downstairs will be his best tactic against the towering Zhilei Zhang, who 32 year old Kabayel will of course face as part of Saturday’s hugely stacked DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Zhilei Zhang says he’s coming to “bang” unbeaten Agit Kabayel in their 12-round battle for the WBC interim heavyweight title this Saturday, February 22nd, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Promoter Eddie Hearn calls the February 22nd Riyadh Season card the “greatest night of boxing” the sport has seen. The headliner is the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, and the event will be shown live on DAZN.
The big, stacked card that will go down in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia on February 22 is, well, stacked and big.
The Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 Riyadh Season event on February 22nd will cost £19.99 for UK fans and $25.99 for U.S
