Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KOs) knows he's in for a tough fight, but exudes confidence ahead of his meeting with Zhang Zhilei (27-2-1, 22 KOs). The athletes will cross gloves on February 22 as part of an evening in Riyadh. At stake in their meeting will be the interim WBC heavyweight belt, but most importantly, the status of a full WBC title challenger.
"I've watched all of his available fights and I've definitely made my conclusions. I'm facing a very tough opponent, but I have my advantages in this fight. He may be stronger, but I'm more experienced. So we will prove it soon and test ourselves against each other," stated Cabayel.
