The World Boxing Council has officially recognized Agit Kabayel as the new heavyweight world champion after previous champion Oleksandr Usyk decided to relinquish all his titles.
"The heavyweight championship has always represented the highest honor in boxing, and Agit Kabayel has earned this moment through discipline, perseverance, and years of outstanding performances against world-class opponents," WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said on the WBC's official website, which was monitored.
Kabayel's rise to the prestigious WBC heavyweight title was the culmination of nearly a decade of remarkable consistency in the ring.
Undefeated as a professional, the standout German boxer rose through the ranks overcoming every challenge he faced, earning his place among boxing's elite.
Mauricio explained that Kabayel's rise through the WBC rankings was a true example of dedication and achievement. He congratulated Kabayel on becoming the new heavyweight champion.
"We are proud to welcome him into the historic lineage of champions who have worn the green and gold belt, and we wish him a long, successful and unforgettable reign," he said.
