Agit Kabayel prepares for title defense against Nelson Hysa in Dusseldorf

Agit Kabayel will defend his WBC Heavyweight title against Nelson Hysa on November 28 at the Merkur Spiel Arena in Dusseldorf. Kabayel, a 34-year-old champion with an undefeated record of 26-0, aims to rejuvenate German boxing following the retirements of notable figures like the Klitschko brothers. Hysa, 42, is on a quest to become Albania's first world boxing champion. Ticket sales have surged, with 35,000 already sold for the bout, significant due to its coinciding with Albanian Independence Day. Promoter Frank Warren emphasizes the event's importance to Germany's boxing.
