Agit Kabayel vs. Damian Knyba fight recap
Agit Kabayel (27-0, 19 KOs) needed just three rounds in his homecoming fight to stop Damian Knyba (17-1, 11 KOs).
The German heavyweight fought in his home country for the first time in nearly three years. His fight against Knyba came after three consecutive bouts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. While some may argue that the stoppage was premature, Kabayel was getting the better of his opponent and not far from ending the fight without referee intervention. He remains in line to challenge for the WBC heavyweight world title, currently held by Oleksandr Usyk, with the victory.
Knyba began the fight by moving off of the back foot. He effectively used his long reach to consistently land jabs and set up power shots with his right. Kabayel initially had some difficulty closing the distance. Despite this, he persisted in pressing forward.
Kabayel started to put a beating on his opponent in round three. Knyba remained on the back foot in an attempt to avoid the onslaught but was unable to do. Following a barrage of punches from Kabayel, the referee stepped in to end proceedings with Knyba still standing.
