Kabayel Ready for Usyk

German boxer Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KOs), who is the mandatory contender for the WBC heavyweight title held by Oleksandr Usyk, says he is ready for the championship fight.

«I don't know about the title fight, we'll see. We are ready for the next opponent. Once, I was close to a fight with Fury, but the contract was canceled due to COVID. But no problem. Tyson is like a mentor to me, my big brother, he helped me a lot.

I sparred with Fury in 2016 when he was preparing for the rematch with Klitschko, but that fight was canceled. I was with Tyson for two weeks, he gave me great hospitality, was very friendly. After that, we became a bit of friends.

If a title fight is approaching for me – I'm ready. We'll see,» said Kabayel.

In his previous fight, Agit scored a stoppage victory over Frank Sanchez. This bout took place on the undercard of the Usyk vs. Fury fight, in which Oleksandr became the undisputed heavyweight champion.
