I’ m not out of action Anthony Joshua vs Agit Kabayel, Nigerian boxer offered chance to get title shot
Anthony Joshua could be fighting for a heavyweight title soon enough with Agit Kabayel rumoured next.
Anthony Joshua has been out of action for a while as he attempts to reestablish himself in the upper echelons of boxing.
In his last match in September, the ex-two-time world champion struggled significantly and was knocked out.
He was trying to secure his status as a three-time world champion by challenging the young and ambitious IBF titleholder Daniel Dubois.
Dubois, however, was performing exceptionally well and had just knocked out Jarrell Miller and Fillip Hrgovic.
He extended his winning streak by stopping Joshua in under five rounds.
Initially, Joshua hinted at the possibility of an immediate rematch, but he opted for a break instead.
During this time, he witnessed his longtime rival Tyson Fury lose to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time.
A lot of people hoped that this signified the two Brits would finally face off in an epic end-of-career showdown, but instead, Fury announced his retirement at the beginning of January.
Following Dubois’s clarification that he would focus on a rematch with Usyk next, it has come to light that Joshua might have an opportunity against Agit Kabayel, the WBC interim belt holder.
After his knockout victory over Zhilei Zhang in February, Kabayel has numerous options for his return, including a match against Joshua.

Although Tyson Fury is no longer the front-runner, Joshua has a list of five possible opponents for his next bout.
Since his knockout loss against IBF champion Daniel Dubois in September, Joshua has been out of action.
Before the Gypsy King declared his retirement in January, Joshua appeared to be headed for a big comeback against Tyson Fury.
Joshua might want a rematch with Dubois next because Fury hasn’t changed his mind about his boxing career yet.
Instead of immediately rematching with the 27-year-old Dubois, Joshua, 35, agreed to take on Parker next.
However, he withdrew from the bout with Parker in February just a few days before due to an ailment he contracted in Saudi Arabia.
In one round, however, Parker, defeated Bakole, a late replacement who filled in with little over 24 hours’ notice.
The 39-year-old former champion Wilder just lost to Parker on points and to Zhang via knockout.
Although the American has not yet announced a return to the ring, there are rumors that he is planning a comeback.
