Bakole – who’s headed to an IBF closing eliminator towards Efe Ajagba, 20-1(14) – uploaded a video through which he laid into AJ for having the nerve to choose Ajagba to defeat him.
Bakole, who ruined Jared Anderson’s unbeaten file again in the summertime, ought to have fought since but he has had bother getting the large fights. Now, towards Ajagba, 32 12 months outdated Bakole will, with a win, be one enormous step nearer to a world title shot. However Bakole nonetheless desires to combat Joshua, a person who he says “ought to really feel ashamed” of himself.
“Hey, Anthony Joshua, this video is for you. I referred to as [you] out, I wished to knock you out, and now you’re saying Ajagba goes to beat me. Disgrace on you,” Bakole stated. “What number of occasions did I name you out? What number of occasions did I ask you to combat in Africa? You need to really feel ashamed of your self. I need to combat you. Have a look at Daniel Dubois – I broke his nostril twice [in sparring] and he knocked you out chilly. I’ll knock you out within the first spherical. You’re speaking about Ajagba? Ajagba is a child, wait until you see how I’m going to knock him out.”
