The inclusion of Sanchez vs. Kabayel not only adds depth to an already interesting undercard but also promises fans a high-stakes battle between two fighters at the top of their game. With the potential to steal the spotlight if the main event fails to deliver, this matchup is one to watch for all heavyweight boxing enthusiasts.

Kabayel, boasting an impressive record of 24 wins, 0 losses, and 16 knockouts, is fresh off a surprising fourth-round knockout victory over previously unbeaten heavyweight contender Arslanbek Makhmudov last December. Dubbed the "Day of Reckoning" card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Kabayel's performance stunned many who had predicted an easy win for Makhmudov. However, Kabayel's strategic targeting of Makhmudov's weakness in taking body shots proved decisive, leading to three knockdowns and an emphatic victory.

Prior to this triumph, Kabayel's standout victory came in 2017 against Dereck Chisora, where he showcased his superior mobility and outmaneuvered the seasoned veteran. Now, at 31 years old and in the prime of his career, Kabayel is poised to make his mark on the heavyweight division with another notable win against Sanchez.

On the other side of the ring, Frank Sanchez, also 31 years old, brings an undefeated record of 24 wins, 0 losses, and 17 knockouts into the ring. His most recent victory came in December, with a seventh-round knockout of Junior Fa. While the win was impressive, Fa's recent losses took some shine off Sanchez's performance.

Throughout his seven-year professional career, Sanchez has notched notable victories against the likes of Efe Ajagba, Christian Hammer, and Carlos Negron. With his Cuban roots and formidable skill set, Sanchez poses a significant challenge for Kabayel and is determined to continue his ascent in the heavyweight rankings.

As fight night approaches, the tension between Sanchez and Kabayel mounts, setting the stage for a thrilling battle that could potentially steal the show. With both fighters hungry for victory and eager to make a statement on the international stage, fans can expect nothing short of fireworks when these two heavyweights collide on the Fury vs. Usyk undercard in Riyadh.
