    He is also the EBU (european) champ, which means he is rated by all Major organisations.
    dispite this title and a win over Derek chisora, he is generally lightly regarded because he doesnt appear to be a Special Talent. yet, None of the prospects are calling him out.

    he Looks like an easy road to a title shot, yet chisora, whyte, hughie fury, Nathan Gorman, Daniel dubois, Joe joyce………..nobody seems eager to fight him.

    i dont get it. opinions???

    I thought he beat Chisora more clearly than Whyte who I thought lost.

    I don't know, he doesn't look anything special, high risk low reward maybe? Or not necessarily a high risk just maybe not enough money?

    Be a good opponent for Joyce.

    Nope. I think Chisora won the match. Or was a draw. Don't rate him highly.

    a win gets you the EBU belt and puts you in the title mix. so low reward is simply not the answer.

    Well it considering fighters can make more money fighting other people and this seems to be the Hearn method of making fights.

    Agree with what you are saying though in principle.

    but you missed the Point. if he is easy Pickings, why isnt everyone desperate to fight him?? he is number 5 in the IBF, number 7 in the WBC and number 9 in the wbo. the rewards are huge.

    yes, he may not be a Money fight……...but beating him gets you title shots, the EBU belt that you can defend...that gets you the Money. and if he is easy Pickings, Fighting him should be a no-brainer.

    He should call out Joyce, it's a fight I think team Joyce would jump at and a win for either fighter especially Kabayel would put his name in the mix.

    It's a shame he's beaten Chisora only for Del to go on to better things.

    i disagree. him calling out joyce makes Little sense. joyce is not world ranked yet a very dangerous Opponent, even at only 5-0.
    i think he will look to Keep a low profile, defend the ebu belt against third raters and wait. wait till he becomes a mandatory for a wold title...….then cash in.

    He's being overlooked for sure the win over Chisora at the time was probably underrated as people thought Chisora was done, but the win over Takam puts it in a better light.

    He's got a fight scheduled for next month will be interesting to see who it will be against. He needs to be more vocal and active to get noticed, the division is full of big names and personalities at the moment, he could get lost in the pack if something doesn't change.

    Kabayel trains at a gym 15-20 kilometres away from my location, i know some guys he sparred and they all saying he is VERY VERY GOOD but has a poor promotion team behind him. He is simply one of those talented guys who have a poor promotion so won't get the big fights and chances.

    He isn't a world title contender of course but i think he is much better than most think.

    By the way: He clearly beat Chisora. And Chisora beat Whyte. Kabayel vs Whyte should be a good competitive fight. Kabaysel has a very good chin.
