Ticket Sales Booming for Kabayel Homecoming

The return to fighting in Germany for heavyweight star Agit Kabayel has instantly captured the imagination of the German public.

The pre-sale for the headline fight between Kabayel and the undefeated Polish heavy Damian Knyba on Saturday January 10 launched on Wednesday and was a resounding success, illustrating the appetite for major heavyweight boxing in the region.

The WBC Interim world heavyweight championship defence by Kabayel will take place at the Rudolf-Weber Arena in Oberhausen and the occasion will mark the much-welcomed entry of Queensberry into the German market.

Tickets for this heavyweight showdown are now on General Sale and the event is expected to sell-out quickly.

Kabayel and his opponent Knyba met at the opening press conference close to Dusseldorf on Wednesday, sparking an enormous interest from the German media.

“The reaction to our announcement of bringing big-time heavyweight boxing back to Germany has been incredible,” said Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren.

“Agit Kabayel is a genuine star of boxing and now he will get the recognition he deserves in his homeland, where the sport has traditionally always been a major draw.

“Germany will represent an important market for Queensberry from the beginning of 2016 and Agit will spearhead our campaign as he moves towards his shot at becoming undisputed world champion.”
