Eddie Hearn, promoter of former British heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua, has hinted at potential negotiations for Joshua's next bout. Hearn revealed that Joshua's team is considering a match with undefeated German boxer Agit Kabayel, who was once Joshua's sparring partner.
"Kabayel was the European champion, he’s top 15. He’s on a list of four or five that it could be, but we need to close it out this weekend really if he's going to fight on August 12," Hearn stated in an interview with talkSPORT.
This could mark a significant turning point in Joshua's career following his loss of the WBA, WBO, and IBF titles to Usyk. Kabayel, with his European championship title, could pose a serious challenge for the British boxer. We await official confirmation of this match.
