Kabayel is not THAT bad. He is the best German heavyweight at this moment in time, in his prime and undefeated. Clearly leagues above the likes of Seferi and Pianeta. Kabayel would spark Tom Schwarz. He fought as the away fighter on a matchroom card to beat Chisora. He is proven at a certain level. He is not going to beat Fury but he may well go the distance.
with all due respect, 'german' and 'undefeated' doesn't inspire me a whole lot considering how the careers of german-based fighters have been run over the past 30 years or so.
He should just wait it out until early next year and fight Wilder in the trilogy. Joshua is already booked with Pulev so a fight with AJ couldn't happen anytime soon. Winner of both those fights can setup a unification match in April/May 2021.
But if Fury chooses to fight Wilder next (seems like Fury doesn't want to), we can no longer bully Wilder and say he ducked the rematch.
Meh. He's probably back on the party train. Saw that the rest of the year was a washout due to the wuflu and said fuggit. The flu will go away with the elections. He'll announce in the spring.
