    See Sky Sports have posted an article with Billy on Martin detailing how he could be an ideal opponent for AJ if he fights in Africa. Good angle to come at for publicity and sure it will help build his profile. Sky also giving coverage to idea. Hopefully depending on contractual length with Cyclone Martin could maybe get on some AJ Bills. AJ likes fighters he might fight in the future to be on his bills as builds possible future fights.

    How long is the cyclone deal?

    I’m guessing his issue is a lack of a following...if he was British he’d be hyped to the hilt...

    Its a major issue i agree. Look at Tete hes in the same situation and he is fighting at world level.

    Good to have your input back on here Billy. Hope Alls well with you etc.

    MB Looks a good prospect but you might be overstating it a bit....doubt he's the best you've coached, and he certainly is not ready to fight anyone in the world in fairness.

    He looks like he could be in better shape for a start. Also what age is he ...he doesn't look like a youngster to me....I know at heavyweight age isn't as important, but still....
    Cheers Billy..:)

    Maybe 50 very even rounds with AJ May sway you, either way it doesn’t matter, the people who matter know what he’s capable of

    @billy nelson how do you think Bakole would do against Filip Hrgovic, Ivan Dychko, Oleksandr Teslenko? :)

    You said Joshua likes to have future opponents fight on his undercards. I can't think of any examples either tbh. Parker? No. Takam? No. Klitschko? No. Molina? No. Brezeale? No. Martin? No. Maybe Whyte did I can't remember.

    Edit: Povetkin will be one. There's one at least.

    It's easy to say he needs to step up, but he is dangerous, nobody really knows his name, and he has nothing to offer. Who wants to fight a guy like that?

    Only seen a couple of his fights, but the thing that first struck me about him was how well he moves.

    I was offered the Hrgovic fight Friday in Croatia early sept, however the purse wasn’t acceptable but I did make it clear we’d have the fightno problem but Martin needs paid appropriately

    Martin trained 4-5 weeks for that fight, he was overweight due to him being injured for several months, look what he done to jones broken nose and dislocated eye socket in 62 sec, impressive
