Kabayel is a candidate to meet Joshua

Agit Kabayel (23-0, 15 KOs) is a likely candidate for the role of the closest opponent Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) after Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs) dropped out of this fight for financial reasons. It is reported that Jarrell Miller (26-0-1, 22 KOs) can also fight Joshua, but, according to Eddie Hearn, the chances of a contract with the American are slim.

“I don’t think that the fight with Miller can take place. Kabayel is the European champion, he is in the top 15 of the world, we have him on the list of four or five possible opponents. We need to resolve this issue this weekend if we want the fight to take place on August 12, ”said the head of Matchroom Boxing in an interview with Boxing Social.

Hearn also added that the rumors that White wanted £10m to fight Joshua were untrue, although he admitted that the demands of The Body Snatcher were in fact very high.
