Report: Heavyweight Kabayel Boxes in Bochum Against Knyba - Kabayel vs Knyba: Heavyweight Clash Set for Bochum on DAZN
German heavyweight boxing champion Agit Kabayel will face off against Poland's Damian Knyba in Bochum on January 10, 2026. The bout, which will be broadcast by streaming service DAZN, replaces a previously planned showdown with former IBF world champion Daniel Dubois.
Kabayel, who last fought in Germany in March 2023, scoring a knockout victory over Agron Smakici in Bochum, will be returning to his home country for this highly anticipated heavyweight clash. The German boxer, known for his powerful punches, will be looking to continue his winning streak.
Knyba, born in Bydgoszcz, Poland in 1996, is an undefeated heavyweight boxer and Poland's number one in the heavyweight division. He has most recently served as a sparring partner for Zhilei Zhang. This fight will be a significant step up for Knyba, who is eager to prove himself on the big stage.
After the bout in Bochum, Kabayel is expected to fight three more times in Riyadh. His February victory over Chinese knockout specialist Zhilei Zhang by stoppage in Riyadh earned him the WBC interim title.
The heavyweight clash between Kabayel and Knyba is set to be a thrilling event, with both boxers bringing their unique skills and styles to the ring. With DAZN securing the broadcasting rights, fans worldwide can tune in to watch the action unfold on January 10, 2026.
