LOL... Who made this fight? Why is Kabayel fighting a nobody?

Agit Kabayel is the second best heavyweight in the world. He beat undefeated Makhmudov, Sanchez and then beat Zhang one after the other each time the underdog. So he is allowed an easier fight in his home country.

I hope he looks impressive and Usyk faces him.

Agit is a come forward fighter who throws plenty of punches and has great body work. It would be a great to see him face Wardley too. With the titles fragmenting I fear the top fighters will not take risks to safeguard their positions and no good fights will happen.
