    Greatest sparring heavyweight of all time. I heard Bakole ko'd Mike Tyson in sparring in 1990 prior to the Buster Douglas loss. So its Bakole who should get credit for what Douglas did.

    GOAT.

    Hrgovic allegedly beat Dubois at Sparring, so in a real fight Dubois beat him like a dog, Bakole can forget about the results from Sparring, fights are a completely different story...

    Have alot of high profile African vs African fights taken place? Obviously Ajagba vs Bakole isn't high profile but as far as quality goes I don't remember many A v A fights of such a high quality.

    Obviously AJ doesn't count or other second or third generation immigrants, don't really think that white africans count either, call me racist.

    Do you think Bakole, the King of Congo can beat the Nigerian prince AJ?

    When did it start being OK to talk about sparring sessions?

    Isn't this a bit of a scumbag move?

    I like Bakole but his sparring stories are becoming a joke.

    AJ is basically a sparirng heavyweight, anyone who can land of him has him in tatters. Useless bodybuilding bum.

    Bakole is the real deal and people better recognize it. He was a part time boxer and somewhat still is given he's not getting the activity he deserves.

    Joshua is a raw force but a mental midget who has lost his way against fighters who know how to punch, only if he really wakes up the beast in him once more, then he could harm Bakole

    I dont like when even world class boxers act like that. And I hate when they talking open about sparring session just for attention. Bakole done this many times now. He talk about Dubois sparring, later Usyk and now about Joshua sparring session. Thats scumbag move like someone write above. What happend in mile stay on mile. If someone want add smth like Joshua for example about Price situation by his own- ok. But dont tell story like that if You are lucky one. Thats sucks.

    And I dont like when boxing community and media trying do some kind of boogeyman monster from boxer who actually say "NO" to interesting fight himself.
    In past they done this with Luis Ortiz which was bull**** because Ortiz himself avoid some fights in his carrer.

    Bakole said "No" to Hrgovic and was not very interested to Hunter reematch fight.

    I understand Martin got BIG POTTENTIAL but still his talk is awfull. And he still must prove himself because he even dont have 1 win over top 10 dude (Anderson was top 10? If he was only because promotion) and he want end best in 3 rounds...

    Call me deluded but the best version of AJ, even the best he can be now, beats the best Bakole for me. Martin might go on to do good things, but he's not done them yet. He's a hype train sitting at the station with his engine running and everyone's jumping on cos it looks shiny and new....

    I hope he proves me wrong. I felt he was the real deal after the Anderson fight but on reflection his defence was non existent and he looked one laced and easy to hit if very powerful and accurate. I think AJ can outbox him and probably stop him late. And I'm no AJ fan...

    Based on the sparring stories he must be a monster.

    But somehow lost to Michael Hunter.

    Sounds a bit racist though. In MMA Dricus alongside Adesanya, Ngannou and Usman viewed as 1 of the 4 African Horsemen.
