Agit Kabayel Calls Out Anthony Joshua for Title Fight
Agit Kabayel, the current interim WBC heavyweight champion, has publicly called out British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua for a world title shot. Kabayel stated he is prepared to wait for Joshua to settle his rivalry with Tyson Fury before pursuing a fight.
Joshua is expected to collide with Fury in November, although the date and venue have yet to be confirmed. Before this anticipated matchup, Joshua will first face lower-ranked opponent Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on a date not specified in the article.
Meanwhile, Tyson Fury is scheduled to fight Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, on July 24. Kabayel expressed that fans want to see the best fight first, suggesting a major bout between Joshua and Fury should take place in either a German or UK stadium.
Kabayel, who has previously sparred with both fighters, is ready to grant either man a shot at the belt once their rivalry is settled.
