Der WBC-Präsident Mauricio Sulaiman hat angeordnet, dass Schwergewichtskönig Oleksandr Usyk nach seiner nächsten freiwilligen Titelverteidigung bis Ende des Jahres gegen Interims-Weltmeister Agit Kabayel boxen muss. Erfüllt der Ukrainer dies nicht, würde ihm der WBC-Titel abgenommen und Kabayel zum Weltmeister ernannt werden. Gegenüber dem Journalisten Chris Mannix erklärte Sulaiman: „Kabayel war nicht verfügbar, weil er einen Kampf im Januar angesetzt hatte. Also hat Usyk eine freiwillige Titelverteidigung beantragt, was absolut üblich ist. Diese wurde ihm gewährt und danach muss er gegen den Interims-Champion kämpfen. Das ist die Entscheidung.“ Dem widerspricht Kabayels Trainer Sükrü Aksu deutlich bei sport.de und sagt, dass das Team Kabayel die ganze Zeit verfügbar gewesen wäre, aber niemand auf sie zugekommen sei. So stieg der „Leber-King“ Kabayel im Januar gegen Damian Knyba in Oberhausen in den Ring, um aktiv zu bleiben.

Der deutsche Schwergewichtler Agit Kabayel könnte vor dem nächsten großen Schritt in seiner Karriere stehen. Im Raum steht ein möglicher Kampf gegen den britischen Top-Boxer Daniel Dubois. Laut Promoter Frank Warren ist ein Duell im April oder Mai denkbar. Kabayel stand im vergangenen Monat in Oberhausen gegen Damian Knyba im Ring und gewann den Kampf durch Knockout in der dritten Runde. Bereits im Dezember 2023 hatte der 33-Jährige mit seinem Sieg gegen Arslanbek Makhmudov international für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt. Mit starken Leistungen hat sich der WBC-Interims-Champion aus Bochum damit weiter in Richtung Weltspitze gearbeitet. Daniel Dubois hingegen stand zuletzt im Sommer des vergangenen Jahres im Ring. Der Brite verlor seinen Kampf gegen Champion Oleksandr Usyk und ist seitdem nicht mehr aktiv gewesen. Trotz der Niederlage gilt Dubois als einer der physisch stärksten Schwergewichtsboxer seiner Generation. Laut BoxingScene soll sich der deutsche WBC-Interimstitelträger Kabayel in Verhandlungen befinden, um seinen Titel im April oder Mai zu verteidigen. Es sei ein britischer Gegner für Kabayel ins Auge gefasst worden und Deutschland sei als Austragungsort im Gespräch.

Send us a textWhen boxing historians look back at this era, they'll wonder why we didn't appreciate what we had. That's the passionate sentiment driving this episode as we break down a weekend that showcased both the brilliance and frustration of modern boxing.Oleksandr Usyk's masterful performance against Daniel Dubois highlights why he's not just the undisputed heavyweight champion, but one of boxing's pound-for-pound kings.
