Why don’t British Heavyweights call out Martin Bakole?

    Bakole's win over Yoka was very impressive and will hopefully bring Bakole a decent fight.

    I can see decent fighters wanting to fight Bakole as if they beat Bakole that will give them a good ranking and a very credible win that will push them closer to a title shot.

    The following fights would be interesting and winnable for Bakole.

    Dillian Whyte
    Huey Fury
    Oscar Rivas
    Otto Wallin
    Joseph Parker
    Adam Kownacki
    Efe Ajagba

    Chisora will not fight Bakole at this stage of his career though. Chisora is chasing big paydays and not risky fights that could derail these opportunities.

    Joyce is close to a world title shot, has just come off a very impressive win and the Bakole fight is not worth the risk to him either as at Joyce's age there is no way back if he loses to Bakole.

    DDD had a bad loss to Joyce, is vulnerable and will cherry pick his opponents until he gets a real title shot. Bakole is too risky an opponent for him.

    AJ is very vulnerable at present and will only risk fighting dangerous opponents in a title fight or final eliminator. AJ will get a decent payday whoever he fights within reason so again the Bakole fight is not worth the risk to him.

    Bit of a fallacy to say on a forum. Sweaty jock.

    He's always been insecure and fragile. Should have see him on here when Burns was champ. Can't take a speck of criticism.

    Bakole would likely end their gravy trains.

    My thoughts entirely. I like how Billy advocates for his fighters so much

    I like Bakole, solid heavyweight. He is high risk low reward however, he just isn't a name.

    Rematchroom anyway.

    Feel like Frampton and Haye are allowed to express more an opinion when they do it.

    Bakole is a good fight for Dubois but I guess it's too much of a crossroader. Big props for the winner but a hard way back for the loser.
    Martin's not a name and doesn't have a big machine behind him. I guess he'll have to keep doing it the hard way.

    Are you talking about Tony Yoka here Billy?
    Or brother Usyk?

    If you believe the rumours in the lead up too AJ/Usyk then it could be either fighter.

    What happened with the Hrgovic fight last year ? Seems like Bakole ducked him.
