Tyson Fury Vs Agit Kabayel is ON summer 2025

Tyson Fury the only guy who said that he is retired all 15 days.

 

I expect this is trolling - likely to try and leverage or string along Joshua/Hearn in true Fury style…but if not, I’m intrigued. IMO, Kabayel is a very tough fight for Fury, not quite as talented, but tough and stylistically could be real trouble for Fury - who as we all know has an elusive head, but a very large body to target. Fury with the size advantage would usually clinch and wear down the smaller man - but I’m sure Kabayel would welcome a longer opponent trying to cut the range

 

There's no chance Fury will fight Kabayel. There's not enough money in it for him, and Fury is no courageous ring warrior who voluntarily takes on challenges.

A Joshua fight would make more money and more sense for Fury, but for some reason he seems to have a morbid fear of AJ.

 

It seems a bit like the Khan/Brook rivalry - Brook chasing the fight, with Khan always saying he wasn’t worthy (even though everyone could see he was, and the public were calling for it). The reality seemed to be that Khan was very comfortable being the number 1 UK welterweight, and didn’t mind losing to world class guys as much as he feared losing to a domestic rival.

 

Yes and no.

The money does flow from Turki... But he's not doing it just for the good of the sport, or for a laugh - it's all about attention.

And how do you get more attention?

Oh, you get fighters together who bring attention... Aka, fighters who absolutely are a draw.

He's far more hyped right now, no question... But Joshua is still the bigger draw.

And Joshua still has a serious resume behind him - Kabayel has the definitive gatekeeper (Chisora) and a 41 year old Chinaman who was literally 3-2-1 against top-200 ranked fighters (now 3-3-1) in Zhang, but beyond that it's very thin indeed.


Either way, I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think Fury will fight again - he might tease it, but I don't think he'll actually do it.

 

Don't know if Fury is trolling. A huge fight at Old Trafford would be incredible though.

Turki is probably calling the shots and my feeling is AJ is chasing Fury rather than Fury chasing AJ. I still think Fury's next fight will be AJ.

Kabayel would defo be a good match-up for Fury though. But I'm not confident he will be Fury's next opponent, although Fury was meant to fight Kabayel in late 2020 before being ruled to fight Wilder in the trilogy.

 

Kabayel is a rough match up for most, but oddly enough I think Fury has a pretty easy time dealing with him.

 

He's not fighting Agit. He's lost too much.

Maybe Joshua if they give him truckloads of money.

 

I think that little tease is more likely to be Joshua. And why not? Fury gets to pick the venue. Doesn't need to be in London.

IF he does actually pick Kabayel, though...Have to give him credit. Kabayel is the inform fighter right now and in his prime.
Apart from getting in the ring with Usyk, Fury has never been known to take those type of fights.
Massive credit to him IF it is true.
Massive IF

 

Must have got bored taking the bins to the dump.
Hopefully he used the retirement to shed the Kronk parasite.

Kabayel is a plodder Fury would destroy in his prime. He should still have enough to move around and land at will like a Chisora fight.

Hopefully he gives AJ a chance to rematch Dubious before getting caught up in a Fury series. When Usyk's manager was partying in Kursk, I mean London, he told us AJ has the fire still, so AJ needs to get his revenge on Dubious before the fire burns out.
