Multiple outlets report that WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel (27-0, 19 KOs) will face undefeated Nelson Hysa (25-0, 23 KOs) on Nov. 28 at Düsseldorf’s 50,000-capacity Merkur Spiel-Arena; the reported bout gives Hysa a title opportunity.
The matchup follows a previously planned meeting that Frank Warren alleged Hysa pulled out of at the eleventh hour. Kabayel has not fought since beating Damian Knyba in January.
Hysa turned professional in 2022 at age 37 and does not appear in the WBC rankings. His most recent reported bout was a win over Thomas Narmo last month on the Itauma-Hrgovic card.
