It’s been a lengthy career packed with controversy and drama, but one thing has never been questioned is Dereck Chisora’s desire for the fight. On November 4 in Monaco’s capital, Monte Carlo, he has the opportunity to cap a 35-bout career by ripping the European heavyweight title away from Agit Kabayel.
1. Before The Fight
Chisora has been in with the great and the good of contemporary heavyweight boxing. He has lost to a number of world champions, including Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury and David Haye, and while occasionally his technical ability has been brought into question – as well as some of his behaviour in and out of the ring – one thing punters will not be is deprived of entertainment courtesy of the Brixton bomber.
He has been made a favourite to remove the European belt from around the waist of Kabayel, the 25-year-old German. He is Chisora’s junior by some eight years, and is certainly lacking in battle scars compared to his more experienced foe. But he has very rarely boxed outside of his native Germany, and has never been in the ring with anyone we’d consider even mediocre before.
It’s a big step up in class for Kabayel, so can the young gun announce himself to the boxing world on November 4, or will Del Boy finally return to title-winning ways?
2. Dereck Chisora vs Agit Kabayel Odds
The sportsbooks are leaning towards the experience of Chisora over the unbeaten record of Kabayel, with the Brit priced at 1.53 and his opponent at 2.50.
3. Chisora vs Kabayel Prediction
Occasionally in boxing a fight comes along and we simply do not know what is set to unfold!
That’s largely because Kabayel has not fought outside of Germany, and so remains unexposed to the wider boxing community. His YouTube highlights package is impressive enough – whose isn’t? – with 12 victories by KO from 16 starts, but the names on his CV are hardly big business.
In contrast, Chisora has been in with the very best. Things haven’t always gone his way, and ill-discipline has dogged him at times, but he has won 12 of his last 15 fights. Indeed, his penultimate scrap with the much-fancied Brit, Dillian Whyte, went to the judges’ cards, who came to a split decision in Whyte’s favour. Many onlookers felt that Chisora was hard done by, so if he uses this ire as fuel he really could be unstoppable in Monaco.
Six of Chisora’s last seven wins have come via knockout, and despite Kabayel looking like a heavy-handed puncher – particularly to the body – we simply have to follow the smart logic and back the Englishman to win the title on neutral soil.
As mentioned, Kabayel has rarely fought outside of Germany – so an overseas training camp will be a new experience to him, and he certainly hasn’t fought an industry ‘name’ like Del Boy before.
The weight of expectation may just get to the young man, and defeat here is not disastrous to his future hopes. Chisora seems to have found his hunger again, and he may just walk through the German’s best shots here to get his hands on the strap.
Dereck Chisora takes on Agit Kayabel for his European title on November 4; can Del Boy rediscover his best form, or will the young pretender enhance his reputation yet further?
