Boxing on ESPN+ Saturday
Live boxing is back on ESPN+ Saturday, July 18, with the return of undefeated heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel in a 10-rounder against Evgenios “Achilles” Lazaridis from Seebühne Elbauenpark in Magdeburg, Germany. The event, promoted by SES Boxing, will take place in front of a limited number of fans and will mark Kabayel’s first fight since he signed a co-promotional pact with Top Rank last year. Kabayel-Lazaridis and select undercard bouts will stream live beginning at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT. Kabayel (19-0, 13 KOs) is a former European champion who is currently ranked in the top 15 by three of the major sanctioning organizations. Based in Germany, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 230-plus pounds, Kabayel won the title in February 2017 with a unanimous decision over Belgian veteran Herve Hubeaux. He defended the title three times — including a November 2017 majority decision over longtime contender Derek Chisora — before vacating it last year to make his mark stateside. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed Kabayel’s United States debut, but he returns following a 16-month layoff to fight Lazaridis (16-2, 10 KOs), a former Greek amateur star who has won four in a row. Now based in Germany, the 32-year-old Lazaridis is a seven-year pro who, at 6’6, will have a three-inch height advantage over Kabayel. In other action on the ESPN+ stream: Heavyweight prospect Peter Kadiru (7-0, 3 KOs), who was victorious on the Tyson Fury-Tom Schwarz undercard in Las Vegas last June, will fight fellow unbeaten Ruben Wolf (5-0, 3 KOs) in an eight-rounder. In a six-round heavyweight tilt featuring a pair of unbeatens, Collins Ojal (3-0, 2 KOs) will take on Georgij Fibich (1-0, 1 KO).

Kabayel walked down Lazaridis the entire fight, but couldn’t get him out of there. Scores were 100-90, 99-91, 98-92. Heavyweight Peter Kadiru (8-0, 4 KOs) was victorious when 39-year-old late sub Eugen Buchmüller (16-6, 13 KOs) couldn’t come out for round four after suffering a shoulder injury. Unbeaten heavyweight Kenyan Collins Ojal (4-0, 0 KOs) outpointed Georgij Fibich (1-1, 1 KO) over six rounds by scores of 60-54, 60-54, 60-55.

Lucas Browne gearing up for ring return
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) is focused on a bout with Apti Davtaev (20-0-1, 19 KOs) in the USA. “Right now, I’m signed to fight Apti Davtaev in the United States,” said Browne. “Obviously, with the pandemic going on everything is up in the air. But that’s what I’m focusing on. “I’ve worked with Matt Clark (manager) for many years and getting the band back together again, so to speak, seemed like the right move. “I’ve seen David Price mention me a few times recently and that would be a very fan-friendly fight. Both of us are big punchers, so I doubt the judges will be required. I’d love to head back over to Britain again and that fight would be perfect to do so.”
