    Now saying 33 years old

    Before it was saying 31, still says 31 on wikipedia

    Proof that they lied about that by at least 2 years Though we all thought it was much older than that (maybe it is)

    No wonder he’s like 90s George Foreman. He’s probably 39.

    Is it possible that Bakole isn’t really sure how old he is? If he was born in rural Congo and his folks aren’t around anymore, seems possible. Especially if he didn’t finish school, given that he was probably over 6ft and 200lbs by like age 12, could be difficult to figure out if he was just working and living basically as an adult.

    On an interview a few weeks ago (talksport) he said an age that doesn't stack up with his date of birth that is on the various websites. can't remember what he said. It was like one year out. He was with billy nelson being interviewed.

    Bakole isn't the 21st century Foreman but... the 21st century Liston?

    He could be anywhere in his 30s and I wouldn't be surprised. It shouldn't matter too much in a practical sense anyway as people are different at each age.

    Could affect his marketability though.

    For me age doesn't matter too much as long as you have the physical tools and your recent form to make up for it.

    You’re probably right, in many countries years of aging is not something they measure. It’s just a number after all.
    Aging is more about how your body is and feels
