The art of the blows of the body: Agit Kabayel and his underestimated coach, Sükrü Aksu

Well, let’s talk about The heavyweight to see right now – Agit Kabayel! If someone had the impudence of doubting their place at the upper levels of the division, he simply erased them with a perfect unilateral beating of Zhilei Zhang last Saturday during the Arturbeev vs. event. Dmitry Bivol 2 in Riad, Saudi Arabia.

From La Campana, Kabayel (26-0) went throughout Zhang (27-3-1). It was not about presuming; It was about showing Who is boss. He kept the pressure on the biggest man, hitting his body with precision. Zhang didn’t have a second to think. Then, Kabayel did what he does best: he landed a clean shot to the torso that sent Zhang directly to the canvas. Finished game.

Now, Kabayel was not the overwhelming favorite, but when the bell rang, he made it clear that this was not a fair fight. He kept Zhang on his heels, throwing blows from all angles, making sure that the big guy could not land his deadly left hand. Kabayel had control, simple and simple.

Zhang tried to make it interesting in Round 5 with a fall, yes, a solid left landed. But Kabayel didn’t shuddered. He got up, breathed, and in Ronda 6, the heat rose, putting Zhang forever. This is how you handle business.

With that performance, Kabayel now got all heavyweight contestants looking over his shoulder. He is The real business“There is no doubt about it.”

But let’s not forget the man behind the curtain, the one who pulls the strings. Sükrü Aksu, Kabayel coach, is the true secret weapon here. You do not listen to much about Aksu, and that is a damn pity, because this guy is a teacher in what he does. AKSU is the one who took Kabayel from a solid fighter to the murderer we see now.

In a country like Germany, where coaches like Ulli Wegner, Fritz Sudnek and Michael Timm are often the names they all mention, AKSU is still criminally underestimated. And it is time to change because his influence on Kabayel’s rise to the top cannot be exaggerated. AKSU has turned Kabayel into a force to take into account, and yet, he still does not obtain the recognition he deserves.

Agit Kabayel’s trip to boxing was remarkable, and his promotion to professionalism has been anything but conventional. It all started in his adolescence when he ventured for the first time to combat sports. “I was discovered during a carnival boxing event,” he recalls with a smile. “I must have been 17 years old. I challenged someone with 30 or 40 fond fighting fights. At that time, perhaps I had only six months of serious boxing training. My brother filmed the fight and published it on Facebook. After that, a coach approached and traveled to Wuppertal. ”

It was in Wuppertal who met the incredible Sükrü Aksu, his coach and mentor, who has played a vital role in Kabayel’s success. What is really remarkable is that Kabayel, unlike many other boxers, such as the world champion Oleksandr Ussyk, who accumulated more than 300 amateur fighting, the traditional route of fans was boldly skipped and entered directly into the professional ranks.

The first years of Kabayel’s professional career were difficult. He did not make a single penny of his first ten fights. “I walked as a professional boxer, but nobody knew I was fighting financially. I fought for free. “Despite these difficulties, Kabayel’s determination and resilience never hesitated. His unwavering will to succeed in sport has made him the champion he is today.

Coach AKSU does not need the care center; It’s about working at work. He has Kabayel’s head correctly, he has it mentally hard and knows how to call the shouts without screaming for his attention. While Kabayel is out there doing his own, Aksu is the firm hand making sure the game plan is followed to a T.

And those body blows? Yes, that is AKSU’s trade right there. He has taught Kabayel how to tear down a boy slowly, methodically, with body shots that make them repent in the ring. Kabayel’s blows are not just about power, they are trying to configure that final moment, that knockout blow. And AKSU has been the one in the basic work.

So, while Kabayel gets the brightness he deserves, don’t forget Aksu. The man has been working behind the scene, making sure that Kabayel remains at the top of his game. Sükrü aksu may not be a family name yet, but believe me, it’s as legitimate as they are. I respect.
