Anthony Joshua vs Agit Kabayel
Now, Joshua is looking for a new opponent to stay sharp ahead of a potential clash with Deontay Wilder in December. One name that has been floated is Agit Kabayel, the European heavyweight champion who is ranked in the top 15 by all four major sanctioning bodies. However, some fans have criticized the potential matchup as a “circus show.”
Despite the disappointment over the collapse of a Joshua-Whyte rematch, there is still plenty of excitement surrounding the heavyweight division. Joshua’s record stands at 25-3, with 22 of those wins coming by knockout. He is widely regarded as one of the most talented boxers in the sport, and a potential showdown with Wilder would be one of the biggest fights in recent memory.
Wilder, for his part, is coming off a loss to Tyson Fury in their trilogy fight last year. However, he remains a dangerous opponent with devastating knockout power. If Joshua can get past whoever he faces on August 12, a clash with Wilder would be a must-see event.
Of course, there are other heavyweights in the mix who could make for intriguing opponents as well like Tyson Furry, Oleksandr Usyk and Derek Chisora.
Regardless of who Joshua faces next, the heavyweight division is in a fascinating state at the moment. With so many talented fighters in the mix, it’s an exciting time to be a boxing fan. And while some fans may be disappointed that a Joshua-Whyte rematch won’t be happening anytime soon, there are still plenty of big fights to look forward to in the coming months.
