Anthony Joshua vs Agit Kabayel: Nigerian boxer offered chance to get title shot

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.
