Heavyweight Unification Fight Between Agit Kabayel and Murat Gassiev Planned

After Oleksandr Usyk retired from the heavyweight division, the WBC and WBA belts became vacant. The WBC champion Agit Kabayel (27‑0, 19 knockouts) and the WBA champion Murat Gassiev (34‑2‑1, 27 knockouts) are now being discussed for a unification bout. Promoter Spencer Brown indicated the fight could take place in Germany in September or October, positioning Kabayel as a fan‑friendly pressure fighter and Gassiev as a one‑punch power boxer. A winner would consolidate the heavyweight titles and set the stage for future match‑ups with other top contenders such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
