Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel prediction

Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel is a story of the old guard taking on an up and comer. Zhang, though, has shown that he's getting better with age. His win against Wilder was a statement.

Zhang is also the taller fighter with a better reach, which could make life difficult for Agit Kabayel. To add to that, the Chinese heavyweight has a solid chin and was able to stand with Wilder. Hence, Kabayel might need a different strategy than only relying on his power.

Zhang is effective in using his jab and given his reach advantage, that could turn out to be a key factor. Kabayel is familiar with the big stage in Saudi Arabia, having already fought there. He also holds a win against the veteran Derek Chisora.

However, he is yet to be tested against the top of the pile fighter like Zhang. Zhang's experience and craftiness could turn out to be too much for Kabayel. We predict Zhang to hand Kabayel his first career defeat by the way of a unanimous decision.

Winner: Zhilei Zhang
