Agit Kabayel's First World Title Defence Against Heavyweight with 90% KO Ratio Now Official
The bout would headline a DAZN card as Hysa brings a 25-fight unbeaten record with 23 knockouts.
- On Thursday, Queensberry Promotions announced that WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel will defend his title against Nelson Hysa on November 28 at the 50,000-seat Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.
- The 34-year-old Kabayel was elevated from interim to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt, and promoter Frank Warren fulfilled his promise to deliver a major stadium show for this first defense.
- Hysa enters the bout unbeaten in 25 fights with 23 knockouts and 19 straight stoppages, having secured this position after confronting Kabayel ringside following a stoppage win over Thomas Narmo.
- Promoters face a significant challenge filling the stadium compared to the 2015 Tyson Fury versus Wladimir Klitschko bout at the same venue, as Kabayel's January 12,000-seat sellout pales against this event's scale.
- If the champion struggles against the untested Hysa, critics may question his standing, making success in this first defense critical for Kabayel to pursue bigger fights in 2027 following victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Zhilei Zhang.
