Tyson Fury Eyes Agit Kabayel as Backup Plan for Joshua Showdown
Tyson Fury is set for a potential clash with Anthony Joshua, but has a backup plan in unbeaten heavyweight Agit Kabayel if the fight falls through.
Tyson Fury is gearing up for a highly anticipated showdown with Anthony Joshua in November, but he has identified a formidable backup option. Should the long-awaited 'Battle of Britain' not materialize, Fury is eyeing a fight against Germany's Agit Kabayel, particularly if Oleksandr Usyk withdraws from their ordered contest.
Fury, who is ranked number one with the WBC, expressed his ambition to become a three-time heavyweight champion, stating, "If the Joshua fight doesn’t happen, for whatever reason, then I will get my shot at three-time against Kabayel and I will take it to Wembley." He described Kabayel as a "big, destroying man" and emphasized the importance of this potential matchup.
Meanwhile, Joshua is preparing for a bout against Albania’s Kristian Prenga, while Fury is expected to return to the ring in August, possibly against former sparring partner Nelson Hysa. However, the ongoing rift regarding promotion and venue for the Joshua fight raises concerns about its viability.
In related news, Fury's father, John Fury, has identified a promising heavyweight prospect, Granit Shala, who he believes resembles a young Tyson Fury. Despite Shala's recent stoppage loss, John Fury is eager to bring him into training camp, highlighting the potential for future talent in the heavyweight division.
