    They got a date for the Ajagba fight? I dunno if it entirely his fault but it’s like Bakole ain’t exactly the most active fighter around. It’s like he only fights once a year

    Let's hope so. I wish I could share your optimism but I think I've just lost faith with boxing doing the correct thing

    You’re right but Nelson has said several times the Ajagba fight going ahead sbd announced soon

    IBF a different kettle of fish. It does enforce the mandatory challenges. Once they’re in that position it’s ordered and the champion has to box or vacate so he will get his shot provided he hears Ajagba

    All sources have his date of birth as June 1 1993 but here he says he is 32 and nearly 33

    Bakole doubling down on his claim he knocked down Usyk out with a Jab.

    I rate Bakole but I cringe when I hear sparring stories... (I've heard my fair share on Bakole pre Billy Nelson too) at the end of the day sparring is sparring, we use it to work on things the amount of times i've watched a boxer out spar someone on multiple, then get beat up in an actual fight vs them is very high. Martin is starting to look like he is getting there but until he is in with Usyk/Fury/Dubios etc in an actual fight we cannot just listen to what happened in sparring.

    I think you’re missing the point. The sparring stories are coming out because nobody will face him

    BACK-OH-LEE or Scotchy B has done nothing that has warranted him a go at anyway. He got flogged by a crusier so what does it matter?

    that would only make sense if people were willing to face him back then mate it literally makes no sense. Nobody has ever been willing to get in the ring with him while useless opponents are gifted voluntary shots look at the crud Joshua has faced over the years and Fury picked Chisora.

    I tend to feel he's not speaking out of his Bakole in his claims for recognition

    Because he got flogged by a cruiser pal. We all know his level.
