The Art of Body Punching: Agit Kabayel and his underestimated coach Sükrü Aksu

OK, let’s talk about Heavy weight to see right now – Agit Kabayel! If anyone had the nerve of doubting their place at the higher levels of the division, they only forced them with an impeccable impact of Zhilei Zhang this past Saturday during the event Artur Beeterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

From the bell, Kabayel (26-0) was all Zhang (27-3-1). It was not about showing; It was about showing Who is none. Maintained the pressure on the larger man, marking the body accurately. Zhang did not have a second to think. Kabayel then did what he did best: he landed a clean shot to the torso he sent Zhang directly to the canvas. Game about.

Now, Kabayel was not the overwhelming favorite, but when the bell sounded, he made it clear that it was not a just struggle. He kept Zhang on his heels, throwing punches from all angles, ensuring that the older boy could not land his deadly left hand. Kabayel had control, simple and simple.

Zhang tried to do it in the 5th round with a defeat, yes, a solid left landed. But Kabayel did not launch. He got up, breathed, and in Ronda 6 increased the heat, leaving Zhang to the good one. This is how you manage business.

With this performance, Kabayel now has all the heavyweight contestants looking on his shoulder. It is The actual agreement—There is no question about it.

But let’s not forget the man behind the curtain, the one who pulls the ropes. Sükrü Aksu, Kabayel coach, is the real secret weapon here. It is not known much about Aksu, and he is a damn shame: “Because this kind is a teacher in what he does. Aksu is what Kabayel has brought from a solid fighter to the killer we see now.

In a country like Germany, where trainers such as Ulli Wegner, Fritz Sudnek and Michael Timm are usually the names everyone mentions, Aksu is still undervalued criminal. And it is the time that changes because its influence on the rise of Kabayel at the top cannot be overcome. Aksu has turned Kabayel into a force that must be taken into account and yet he does not yet obtain the recognition he deserves.

Agit Kabayel’s trip to boxing was not noteworthy, and his promotion to professionalism has been more than conventional. It all started in his teenage years when he ventured into combat sports. “I was discovered during a carnival boxing event,” she recalls with a smile. “It must be about 17 years old. I challenged someone with 30 or 40 amateur fights under the belt. At that time, he may have only six months of serious boxing in the boxing. My brother filmed the fight and published it on Facebook. After that, a coach went out and traveled to Wuppertal. “

It was on Wuppertal that he met the incredible Sükrü Aksu, his coach and mentor, who has played a vital role in Kabayel’s success. What is really noteworthy is that Kabayel, unlike many other boxers, such as the world champion Oleksandr Usyk, who accumulated more than 300 amateur attacks, courageously jumped on the traditional amateur route and went directly to the professional ranks.

The first years of Kabayel’s career were difficult. He did not make a single penny of his first ten fights. “I walked as a professional boxer, but no one knew he was financially fighting. I fought for free.” Despite these difficulties, Kabayel’s determination and resilience never disappeared. His inexhaustible desire to succeed in sport has made him the champion he is today.

Coach Aksu does not need the spotlight; It’s about getting into work. He has Kabayel’s head on the right, he has him mentally hard and knows how to get the shots without drawing attention. While Kabayel is out doing his things, Aksu is the constant hand of insurance to ensure that the play plan followed a T.

And those punches of the body? Yes, this is Aksu’s craft right there. He has taught Kabayel how to break a boy slowly, methodically, with traits of the body that make me regret the ring. Kabayel’s punch is not only power, but also setting that final moment, that punch. And Aksu has been the one who laid the foundations.

So while Kabayel gets the shine he deserves, don’t forget Aksu. The man has been working on the tail between the racks, ensuring that Kabayel stays at the top of his game. Sükrü Aksu may not be a house name, but he trusts me, he is as legitimate as they come. Respect.
