He’s not so much the classic one punch knockout fighter
He breaks fighters down with a high volume of combinations , particularly sustained body shots . That’s what got zhang , he chopped him down like a tree .
If the usyk wardley fight can’t be made ( it’s not confirmed yet ) the fight that makes the most sense for wardley is a rematch with Parker . That’s straight out of the mouth of Ben Davidson his trainer .
Kabayel is virtually the fighter Eddie Hearn tried to tell us that Dillian Whyte was. A brilliant body puncher as you said. There's a reason why he's been avoided throughout his career.
It's funny how after he beat Chisora in 2017, how no one wanted a bar of him after that.

As great as he is , Mr Usyk has shown if he has a weakness it’s probably body shots .
Now that he is the A side and can pick and choose, I don’t think we will see Usyk v Kabayal
There is probably easier options for him that will generate more money . -

Kabayel is almost becoming this generation's Luis Ortiz. Wait for him to get old before all of a sudden people line up to fight him. He might need to look bad in some fights to get rival promoter's and fighters attention.

Ive just seen he has a fight scheduled for jan 10th in Germany without an opponent yet , and he is calling out Dubois .
I’m not sure Dubois has a new trainer yet , he sacked Don Charles after the usyk fight .
I didn’t see when it happened but kabayal is now also signed with frank Warren.
-
Signing with Frank Warren is a career crusher for a fighter if they are not from UK...
Uk boxing is dominated in the promoter ranks by Warren and Hearn...then trailing behind Shalom,
Non UK fighters really need better- fairer representation as its stalling/ruining careers -

Yeah Kabayel was meant to face Nelson Hysa which would have been a waste of time, but that fell through apparently. It won't be anyone special if it's in Germany put it this way.

Non UK fighters really need better- fairer representation as its stalling/ruining careersAlways been the way if you're not from the UK/US. Many Eastern Europeans fall into oblivion as a result. Promotion is a tough business and extremely tough to make profit if you don't have a TV network backing you. Look at Bob Arum and Top Rank now that they don't have the ESPN deal now. Frank Warren is like the Winston Peters of Boxing promotion. Just as you think he's down and out and won't be back, he always finds a way back in.
It's even tougher now that Turki has seemingly distanced himself from the HWs for now.

Full story has broken. Joseph Parker tested positive for cocaine and faces a possibly lengthy ban from the sport.
-
what an idiot.

I’m not that shocked he’s used , it’s the party drug of choice for heaps of sports people whether we like it or not.
But shocked he tested positive on fight day , can’t find what sort of test it was , my understanding it only stays in the system for two days in blood tests .. Urine 4 days . Surely not

Yeah, I'm mildly surprised that he did it but shocked WHEN he did it.

Well said, I imagine this decision, in terms of his future fights, could cost millions.
