"I don't know what will happen next, but I will definitely be ready for it," claims Agit Cabayel (25-0, 17 KOs), shocking bookmakers fight after fight. When the German representative defeated Chisora, the latter was accused of laziness. When he beat Makhmudov, theories were concocted that the Russian giant was overrated. But when Cabayel put on a completely dominant fight over Frank Sanchez on Saturday, some realized that they were facing a boxer of serious caliber, even if he didn't look it at first glance.
Cabayel became the mandatory challenger for the WBC title. But he may have to wait for his championship chance, so it's not out of the question that he'll be looking for other fights.
"I used to be very close to a fight with Fury, everything was ready, but it didn't happen because of the coronavirus. I treat Tyson as a big brother and mentor, we sparred together in 2016. We became friends then. Now his belt has passed to Usyk, and if the opportunity for such a fight arises, I will definitely be ready for Usyk," said Cabayel.
