My contact in Eastern Europe has told me he is out of the right with Bakole! wonder who they will get to replace him ? Hopefully not David Allan wouldn’t mind seeing Hughie Fury
if that is the case that is a real shame for Bakole. Doubt Hughie Fury would want to step in as a late replacement as not been in camp. Takam has been fighting recently, he could be a good possible replacement.
If true it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Alen Babic. hearn mentioned in an interview he would likely be on the card and he would have nothing to lose. Shocking and if true on PPV. would be better off paying some money and getting the likes of Helenius in
There's talk of Wardley being put onto that card. Don't think they'd put him in with Bakole right enough.
Bakole has to be gutted about this. I thought this would be a good opponent to showcase his skills and get him a big name. David Price or Nathan Gorman would be good late replacements.
I do not think Wardley steps in the ring so soon after his last fight, especially against such a big step up as this. He will feel like he needs a full camp.
Like I say I don't think they'd put him in with Bakole yet, regardless of it being so soon after his fight on Saturday. But I could see him fighting again within weeks against somebody else. Wouldn't normally happen but these aren't normal times. The Vallily fight didn't really take anything out of him, it lasted less than 3 rounds and it's not like he took any real punishment, he should be still fighting fit. If the opportunity is there, it would make sense for him, IMO, to just extend the training camp he's just had and get 2 fights out it rather than start a new training camp from scratch. We've already seen it happen on the recent ESPN shows in America with Jared Anderson and Clay Collard having another fight a few weeks after their last.
