Agit Kabayel (26-0, 18 KOs) has visited the camp of Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) several times as a sparring partner. Now he is eager to face the former two-time world heavyweight champion in an official fight.
When the German representative stopped Zhang Zhilei in the sixth round a month ago, one of the first people to congratulate him on his victory was the Englishman. Gentlemen like and respect each other, but business is business.
Cabayel first won a qualifying fight for the WBC title by defeating Frank Sanchez early in the seventh round, and then by defeating Zhang, he won the interim WBC title.
"Would a fight with Joshua make sense? Definitely yes, I would enjoy it and at the same time check where I am today. Because if not a title fight, a fight with Joshua would make the most sense. I think Deontay Wilder will be on the market soon too. A fight with him could happen just because of his name. I just want to stay active and have regular confrontations," said Cabayel, a former two-time European heavyweight champion.
