Agit Kabayel set to fight in November

Ice8Cold · Sep 7, 2026 at 12:13 AM

Realitically... its between Huni, Parker, Ajagba and unfortunately Hysa.

Tyson Fury is never getting in the ring with a legit opponent not named Oleksandr Usyk. That's why he's now calling out Usyk for the trilogy after he's managed to kill off the AJ fight.

I don't think Kabayel deserves anywhere near the praise he's been getting, but he's plenty good enough to beat the hell out of Fury.

It's gonna be Nelson Hysa or some equally uninspiring name.

Didn't Ajagba sign with Zuffa?

Fury would probably be the easiest to make. And he's the #1 contender, so you get that out of the way.

Joshua has never fought for or won a WBC belt. So that would be interesting, too.

Wilder would also take it. He doesn't want to sit around until next March. He's older than all of them.

No idea on the Zuffa stuff.

Fury is unlikely to fight Kabayel as (like Parker) they're supposed to be friends.

Wilder is a maybe, but I thought Usyk was eyeing him up. Good scrap to make though, and Wilder may have a bigger chance here than many think...

Maybe it is Parker, and that is why he is so quiet.

I mean, he believes in himself like very few of these guys.

It's a fight I'd tune in to for sure. Just don't see Parker strutting straight into a title shot this soon sadly

More or less confirming that Hysa is next

Kabayel says that if nobody can fight him, he will pick Hysa. I really hope that's not the case, but I still have some hope because Frank keeps saying it will be a top 10 fighter. Hysa isn't in the top 10 on BoxRec or The Ring, and he isn't even in the WBC's top 40. But this is boxing. Worse title defenses have happened.

Also, can you translate that TikTok video? I don't know German, so it would really be helpful.

Kabayel made his opponents look substandard. Hrgovic and Parker had razor-thin decisions with Zhang; if they won, they won by a point or two. The simple fact is that those fights were 12-rounders, and when Zhang was gassed in the later rounds, neither fighter could put a dent in him. Kabayel destroyed Zhang in the sixth.

Sanchez has always been a good fighter with flaws. Makhmudov was impressive because Kabayel beat him cleanly in three rounds. Chisora was beaten by a green Kabayel, and Chisora is always a pretty good win. Kynba has also proven to be a tricky guy to fight because of his reach and good feet.

It's crazy that the people who constantly trash Kabayel's resume haven't even attempted to counter or correct this post. In an ideal world, Kabayel would be fighting Usyk right now.

Will be Fury

AJ has ducked citing they signed to fight in the UK which is tosh because fighters always follow the money and the money men want that fight in the US. Easy duck. Agit will step in. Usyk not ready to fight Fury in 2 months needs a roid cycle.

Kudos to Fury if he fights a ranked opponent!

Ajagba is signed with Zuffa yeah

Beat Martin in the first Zuffa show

But saying that The WBC are the most willing to allow the Trojan Horse in

It's gonna be Hysa though isn't it

An actually interesting fight for Fury if he’s fighting Kabayel. I’m favoring Kabayel right now.

At the end he says Hysa is ranked #5 or #6 in some federations so I guess that’s a done deal

How old was Zhang when Kabayel fought him?

I don't think there's really an argument about whether or not Kabayel beat him convincingly, the issue is how thin his resume is and the apparent reluctance to make bigger fights. If he winds up with another "gimme" in the form of Hysa, that perception won't improve.

The number one heavyweight in the world is back

Greedy Belly is too craven to fight Kabayel - he's even afraid to face the obviously faded Joshua.

You’ll never be objective when it concerns Fury.

I’m no AJ fan, but he hasn’t ducked.

The contract was signed ages ago to fight in the UK in November.

It’s Turki who wants the fight moved.

Now in order for that to happen, all they have to do is to sign off on the additions made by Matchroom, which don’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary.

At the moment, that hasn’t happened.

AJ hasn’t ducked, nor is he holding up the fight.
