Martin Bakole is headed in direction of a March combat with fellow heavyweight contender Efe Ajagba. Bakole’s coach Billy Nelson has revealed – as reported by Boxing Information – that the combat will happen on a Boxxer invoice someplace within the UK on an as but unconfirmed date in March. combat, it’s been reported in varied locations that Bakole Vs. Ajabga might be a ultimate eliminator for the IBF heavyweight title.
Bakole has been making information these previous couple of days by calling out Anthony Joshua. Bakole is steamed at AJ for selecting Ajagba to defeat him, and for taking again his supply to combat him in Africa. Bakole ought to actually be specializing in Ajagba, who’s 20-1(14), but it surely appears the Congolese big is extra all for getting Joshua into the ring. And if the combat occurs? “I might knock him out chilly within the first spherical,” Bakole stated.
“AJ, earlier than he accepted the Daniel Dubois combat [last September], I referred to as him out. Himself, he got here and stated we might combat in Africa however now I’m upset he received knocked out by somebody I knocked out twice within the gymnasium,” Bakole stated to IFL TV. “Think about if it was me [fighting AJ, not Dubois] I might knock him out chilly within the first spherical. Now he’s speaking bull s**t I’m taking it critical this combat. I used to be in search of AJ and now he’s saying Ajagba goes to beat me, I don’t know, shame. Watch out. I would like him subsequent.”
It appears Bakole, 21-1(16) shouldn’t be on Joshua’s radar – Joshua, as we all know, needs that huge combat with Tyson Fury – and he won’t ever get his likelihood to reside as much as his daring prediction of taking AJ out in a spherical. As an alternative, Bakole has Ajagba to take care of, and this combat might show to be a tricky one for each males. If Bakole can get the win, then he can start calling in earnest for a world title shot.
What occurs in sparring stays in sparring, or a minimum of it ought to. However Bakole says he twice busted Dubois’ nostril in sparring and knocked him out. Who is aware of for certain how the spars really went? But when Bakole beats Ajagba, and if Dubois retains his IBF title towards Joseph Parker subsequent month, it appears we are going to see Dubois and Bakole get it on for actual. And what a combat that one may very well be.
