    It seems that everything has been agreed, Bakole will fight against Yoka, I don't know what happened with Hrgovic, but apparently Yoka is a better choice for Bakole as a better ranked boxer.

    Solid.
    I like it.

    Yoka in against a big young HW.

    Lets see what he has

    Good fight. Let’s see Yoka’s chin tested in the pros.

    Never really rated Bakole that highly which is why I picked Hunter over him, but he's not as terrible as hype jobs like Ajagba, he does have some ability. He has enough size, power and ability to give Yoka his sternest test as a pro but he probably won't be upsetting the odds against Yoka.

    It's a good test for Yoka at this stage of his career and a convincing win will do much to convince people he's a genuine contender.

    Also why didn't Hrgovic/Bakole happen, that's been talked about since last summer? You have to ask questions about Hrgovic's management that they allowed Yoka to come in and snatch this fight from them. Bakole would of been the perfect opponent for Hrgovic's long awaited IBF eliminator as Bakole is ranked by the IBF and Bakole has openly called him out.

    I like that fight. Bakole a resilient dude that will be there and try to break you down. We will know what Yoka is made of after this.

    That would be a fun fight - Bakole is decent and could prove troublesome to Yoka if he isn't as good or tough as advertised.

    Not sure about Bakole being young to be honest

    I like this fight but WTH ist wrong with Hrgovics team? Hrgovic really would have deserved this fight with Bakole...
