Recently elevated WBC heavyweight world champion, Agit Kabayel has expressed an interest in fighting Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Fury and Joshua look set to clash later this year, with Kabayel stating that he wants to face the winner.
The German heavyweight remains unbeaten after 27 fights, with an impressive 19 victories coming by way of stoppage.
Kabayel was last in action in January when he took on Damian Knyba in Oberhausen, Germany.

Following his last outing, the 33-year-old frequently called out then-WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, but to little avail.
He had been the WBC’s number-one mandatory challenger for some time, but was forced to wait for months.
When Usyk took on former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven in May, many believed he should have vacated the WBC title to give Kabayel his deserved opportunity to fight for the belt.
After stopping Verhoeven in the 11th round, Usyk’s future remained uncertain.
A couple of weeks ago, he took to social media to announce that he would vacate his belts, with Kabayel finally being elevated to full WBC heavyweight world champion.
Kabayel recently spoke to Sky Sports after becoming the full WBC heavyweight world champion.
“Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, when you think you have a chance to be a three-time world champion, let’s do it.
“Kabayel will wait for you.
“We can make the fight but, first of all, I think all the fans, the British fans, want to see the Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury fight and after that we can see who’s best for the fight with me.”
Fury and Joshua look set to fight later this year.
The pair both return to the ring in a few weeks, with Fury facing Mariusz Wach on July 24 before Joshua returns a day later against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah.
Joshua and Fury are both ranked highly by the WBC, with ‘The Gypsy King’ sitting immediately behind Kabayel in the rankings, while ‘AJ’ is ranked fifth.
