Highlights! Kabayel Stuns Sanchez With Wicked Body Shot KO

Cuban fighter Frank Sanchez had his heavyweight title hopes put on hold earlier today (Sat., May 18, 2024) at Ring of Fire live on DAZN PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when the previously undefeated knockout artist was finished by German veteran Agit Kabayel with a gnarly seventh-round knockout (body shot).

This was another matchup of undefeated heavyweights to grace the Ring of Fire card this weekend in Saudi Arabia and it delivered across the board. Both Martin and Kabayel are known for their punching power more than their technical abilities so the fight was a typical slobber knocker from the opening bell.

After both heavyweights settled in throughout the middle rounds it seemed like the fight was going to go the distance. That was until Kabayel started to do serious work to the body and capped his efforts off with a clean left to Sanchez’s stomach in the seventh frame. It wasn’t the most vicious body shot you’ll ever see, but the placement was perfect. Sanchez fell to the canvas and couldn’t continue.

Check out the finishing sequence below:

Remember, Ring of Fire will be headlined by a historic heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to crown the first undisputed king of boxing for the first time in 25 years. That main event superfight is expected to begin around 5:30 p.m. ET (details HERE).
