Agit Kabayel accepts challenge from Filip Hrgovic for possible unification bout
A potential heavyweight unification contest would see the WBC title put up against the IBF belt.
Agit Kabayel has accepted a callout from Filip Hrgovic following Hrgovic's stoppage of Moses Itauma, remarking that the matchup had come too early for Itauma.
A bout between the two would unify the WBC and IBF championships. However, no contract has been signed, and no date, venue, or broadcaster has been confirmed.
An earlier reported proposal for Kabayel to face Murat Gassiev in a unification match did not materialise after Gassiev described the claim as fake news.
