Agit Kabayel’s Return to Boxing
Agit Kabayel is set to make his long-awaited return to boxing this Saturday after nearly a year away from the ring. The heavyweight contender will be competing in his hometown of Oberhausen, Germany, where he faces the undefeated Polish heavyweight, Damian Knyba. Kabayel, who is now 33, has established himself as a serious player in the heavyweight division, particularly following his impressive victories in late 2023 against fierce opponents like Arslanbek Mahmudov, Frank Sanchez, and Zhilei Zhang. Notably, his recent triumph over Zhang was a significant achievement, as it placed him firmly in the conversation for a future world-title shot.
However, after 11 months of inactivity, Kabayel is keen to regain his competitive edge and prove he is still a contender worthy of challenging the likes of champion Oleksandr Usyk and Fabio Wardley.
Fight Details
Kabayel is scheduled to battle Knyba at the Rudolf Weber Arena on January 10, with the evening’s activities starting at 7pm GMT (11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET). Main event ring walks are anticipated around 9:45pm GMT (1:45pm PT / 3:45pm CT / 4:45pm ET).
Where to Watch
Fans can catch the action live on DAZN, although viewers in Germany can access it via DAZN pay-per-view. For those interested in subscription options, DAZN’s plans begin at £14.99 per month.
