    Joshua is a manufactured bodybuilding bum

    Bakole has cement feet, so Joshua could keep his distance easy. However, Bakole throws when his opponent does, so because Joshua has the defensive skills of fixing a leaked pipe with a net, particularly when he is throwing, Bakole KO's him as he is coming in.

    Bakole would beat Dubois, Fury and Joshua.

    I hope he has an opportunity for a big fight soon, he's earned it.

    Joshua would have a bad time with Bakole, Bakole operates at a high level, he's mobile, throws a lot of punches and is very good at defense, Joshua wouldn't do well here, Bakole by KO in the early stages of the fight...

    Bakole stops AJ, thought this before yesterday as well.

    But they're not gonna put AJ in with a puncher again anytime soon. This fight ain't happening lol

    Bakole wins in the similar way that Dubois won last night, by putting an epic beatdown on the bodybuilder.

    the bodybuilder was spoiled in Watford, manufactured in the evii dungeon of Eddie Hearn, a phony. Bakole is a real African warrior, raised in the jungles of the congo, forced to hunt and gather to survive, honing his instincts to the biological limit. aj isn't mentally ready for big Martin. Bakole KO1

    Bakole called out Joshua today. AJ was born a chicken, doubt he will fight him. He scared to come home.

    I'm not sold on Bakole yet. Beat Yoka, but then Yoka lost just as one-sidedly to Takam and to that cruiserweight guy. Beat Takam, although Takam is past his best and was never considered more than a gatekeeper. Good win against Anderson, although Anderson hadn't done anything impressive either.

    The best person Bakole faced was Michael Hunter. He was outboxed and knocked out by Hunter. People always say 'Bakole's arm was injured'. But that happened in like round 9 of a 10 round fight, he was already on his way to losing. And Hunter's punches shook him up bad and Hunter isn't a big puncher.

    Need to see if he gets past Ajagba first, which I'm not sure he does.

    My thoughts exactly, I think Joshua has one foot out the door already and if he can get a Fury fight his career is about over

    You don’t turn down a title shot if you’re serious about still fighting. Could you imagine Muhammad Ali or Evander Holyfield turning down a title shot?

    AJ is done and he knows it — nothing wrong with that. He’s aiming for a final cash-out against Fury, and that’s it.

    Given that he’s still got his marbles, is pretty well spoken / charismatic, looks pretty much like a Greek god (no gay, just saying I could see him getting work in commercials and ads), and is a big celeb in the UK, he’s probably got plenty of post-boxing opportunities. His post-boxing future looks pretty darn bright actually. He’s not a dumb guy. There’s no way he doesn’t know this. Hell, I enjoyed seeing his RBR scorecard for Usyk-Fury 2 as it was happening — I thought he was being pretty honest on his card. A bit overly kind to his fellow countryman, but even so, he just couldn’t give it to Fury.

    At this stage, I would back any top fighter that is coming to win to beat AJ.
