Earlier, promoter Frank Warren announced that WBA, WBC and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk will be required to enter the ring against interim champion Agit Kabayel. In his recent interview with the Daily Mail, the Ukrainian boxer discussed the possibility of a fight with the German athlete, although before that he planned to fight exclusively with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven, the winner of the Wardley-Dubois fight and Tyson Fury. “Perhaps I will fight with Agit Kabayel - maybe instead of the third fight with Tyson Fury I will choose him, I’m just talking about my plan, but it’s not final. I understand that Agit’s fans demand this fight, they say: “you have to fight him”. But I don't have to fight him. I need to live my life, take care of my team and children. When it comes to fighting, I just work hard, just like my opponents. Let's see, maybe the fight with Agit will take place. I can say one thing: he is an excellent and very smart fighter,” he added. Let us remind you that Usik is ready to make his ex-rival the absolute champion by 2027.
