Kabayel Upsets Zhang

In an epic Heavyweight battle Kabayel stops Zhang to the body in round 6 after getting dropped in round 5. A total coming out party for Kabayel on a huge stage proving himself worthy of a top 5 ranking in the division.

Kabayel’s consistent work to the body proved to be a valid strategy against the battle tested veteran in Zhang. Now the WBC interim champion, Kabayel has some major match ups in his future that will give him the opportunity to add to his belt collection and fatten his bank account. Kabayel slighlty undersized compared to some of the behomths in the division sparks an interesting trend of smaller heavyweights having success like Usyk and Parker.
