Agit Kabayel brings heavyweight boxing back to Germany. Forget the glamor of Riyadh – this one is in Oberhausen, under real lights, with real fans. On January 10, 2026walk the Bochum crusher in the Rudolf Weber Arena13,000 locals ready to roar, and he has a proper fight ahead of him live on DAZN.
No easy opponent either. According to Bild.de, is is Damian KnybaPoland’s undefeated tower of trouble — 17 wins, 11 knockouts, stands 6’7″. A man who doesn’t box to dance around, but to break your ribs and take your soul. Kabayel gives the home fans what they wanted: a real scratch.
Knyba was endangered in front of the hometown crowd
Knyba is no mug. In the camp, he traded leather with Zhilei Zhang – the same Zhang Kabayel who was cut down in Saudi with body shots that reverberated. The Pole is young, confident and built like a factory wall. H
The press conference will take place in Düsseldorf next week, but insiders already know that the deal has been closed. As for Daniel Dubois? Forget it. He blew in London – “I will fight Kabayel, I am ready for him.” Yeah, sure, mate. Then his camp disappeared as soon as things got real. All bark, no bite.
The long way home for Germany’s silent heavyweight
It has been almost three years since Kabayel fought in Germany. Last time was Bochum, March 2022. Since then he has been doing his work abroad — quiet, methodical, undefeated, tougher every time. Ranked high in the WBA, respected by the right heads, ignored by the hard people.
Now he’s home, and he’s not here to shake hands. This one is a reminder: Kabayel is the European heavyweight nobody wants to risk. Strong, patient and mean when it matters. He is not flashy. He’s just consistent – and that’s a nightmare for any opponent.
This is a proper heavyweight fight. Knyba has youth and size, sure. But Kabayel is smarter. He doesn’t waste shots, doesn’t panic, and once he gets his rhythm, he grinds you down like wet cement.
Knyba is going to find out what happens when someone deliberately hits back. I expect a rough couple of laps early – maybe the Pole even lands something decent – but Kabayel’s body work will tear him down. Middle to late stop, German fans lose their minds.
And Dubois? He can keep talking. Kabayel is now on a different path – the kind that leads to names like Hrgovic, Parker, maybe even Joshua if someone grows a spine. Germany got their man back, and he’s not playing nice.
