Famous actor joins the Kabayel battle - Cristiano Ronaldo encourages German boxer
Agit Kabayel (age 31) is set to battle Frank Sánchez (also age 31 from Cuba) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on a Saturday. The same evening will witness the highly anticipated showdown between undefeated heavyweight world champions Tyson Fury from England and Oleksandr Usyk from Ukraine.
I sent a message to Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram, querying if he planned to attend my fight. To my surprise, he responded, "Yes, I'm coming."
During December 2023, Kabayel made headlines worldwide with his sensational knockout win over the previously unbeaten Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov (also 34 years old). Post-fight, images emerged of Kabayel, Ronaldo, and MMA icon Conor McGregor (35) together at ringside.
Another victory for a shot at the world title!
This upcoming fight presents a significant milestone for our rising heavyweight contender. The bout will serve as a "final elimination" match, rendering the victor eligible for a shot at the world heavyweight title. In the present WBC rankings, Sánchez (also 24 triumphs) holds the second spot, while Kabayel (also 24 wins) ranks third.
Kabayel: "This fight carries a lot of weight for my career path. It could possibly secure me a place in the world championship bout."
Both Kabayel and Sánchez are unbeaten in their respective professional bouts. Sánchez boasts a height of 1.93 meters and a knockout rate of 70%, while Kabayel measures 1.91 meters with a 66.6% early finish rate. When it comes to weight, their last bouts show their levels to be close to each other, with Sánchez weighing between 108-110 kilograms, and Kabayel weighing between 108-110 kilograms.
Kabayel about Sánchez: "He's masterful in the art of boxing. He's a different adversary than my recent opponent. Experts would deem Sanchez the favorite. With over 200 amateur fights to his name, his professional CV may not contain big names, but this stems from everyone trying to avoid him due to fear. It's a daunting challenge for me."
We hope Kabayel overcomes this challenge and then eventually gets to battle for the world championship crown.
