Agit Kabayel vs Damian Knyba Preview: Start Time, Undercard, How To Watch & Live Stream

Interim WBC World Heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel (26-0, 18 KOs) returns to action in the hopes of improving his unbeaten record. Fighting out of Bochum, Germany, the 33-year-old will return to his home country to compete for the first time since 2023.

Taking on Polish boxer Damian Knyba (17-0, 11 KOs), Kabayel is aiming to make the first defense of his interim title on Saturday night.

Kabayel claimed the interim WBC strap with a bodyshot masterclass against veteran contender Zhilei Zhang. Competing on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol II in February 2025, Kabayel's sixth-round knockout was the first time Zhang had been stopped in 11 years of professional fighting.

The victory over Zhang was another impressive addition to Kabyel's resume. In a 2024 outing against Frank Sanchez, who had an unbeaten 24-0 record at the time, Kabyel stopped the budding contender with a seventh-round knockout.

It was a 2023 victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov that really helped to solidify Kabayel as a heavyweight contender. The Russian Makhmudov was 18-0 going into his bout with the German, but left the ring with his first career defeat, getting stopped in round four.

Now, Kabayel will look to add more substance to a world title shot claim when he takes on Knyba in a homecoming bout.

The unbeaten Polish fighter enjoyed a successful 2025, notching up three stoppage victories between February and October. Knyba, who resides in New Jersey, had his last outing against Joey Dawejko (28-13-4) and rounded off a one-sided showing with a seventh-round knockout.
