Kabayel Agit vs Frank Sanchez Prediction: A bout between two undefeated champions

Agit Kabayel and Frank Sanchez step into the Ring of Fire on Saturday, May 18, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This high-stakes heavyweight showdown takes place on the undercard of a milestone fight for the division. DAZN, TNT Sports Box Office, and Sky Sports Box Office are fans’ options to watch the bout live.

Kabayel has an impressive record of 24 wins. Of all his wins, 16 were knockout victories, making his knockout ratio 67%. He has boxed 118 rounds, beginning his career in 2011 when he beat Yeton Abdullah with a knockout. Kabayel has fought and won against top-tier fighters such as Shalva Jomardashvili (KO), Lawrence Tausa (KO), Derek Chisora (MD), Andrii Rudenko (UD), and Kevin Johnson (UD), among others. He has never lost a fight and hopes to keep the record in his fight against Frank Sanchez.

Sanchez debuted on May 22, 2017, when he fought Justin Thornton through a knockout. Since then, he has fought 23 more games, recording no losses and 17 knockout victories. Frank Sanchez has not fought at all in 2024, having fought thrice in 2023, winning two by knockouts against Daniel Martz and Junior Fa, while he won the other one through a referee technical decision against Scott Alexander in the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight when the latter was done in round 2. Frank Sanchez aims to continue his winning streak and career unbeaten record by breaking Kabayel’s unbeaten record in the upcoming bout.

Both boxers have heavy hands, but Sanchez has a habit of not letting go enough. On the other hand, Kabayel doesn’t mind throwing a lot of leather, and that’s why he upset the hard-hitting Arslanbek Makhmudov in December. This is another interesting matchup, and I feel whoever takes the initiative here will enjoy the most success. Kabayel is naturally more aggressive and could pull off another upset here as long as he lets his hands fly and doesn’t allow Sanchez to dictate the pace. Although both have the same winning record, Kabayel has more experience, having begun his career six years before Sanchez. Most importantly, Kabayel has won against fighters with 30+ winning records, while none of Sanchez’s opponents have 30+ winning records. With this, I believe Kabayel Agit will win through knockout.
