Get shouting from the roof tops for Bakole to step in. Get him in there and get him to stick it on AJ from the first second of the very first round. Even if he is unfit send him out like an express train for 2 rounds and see if the can chin AJ. Pick Martin and yourself up a big payday aswell.
One issue is that Bakole is signed to Boxxer. I'm not sure Boxxer haven't got anything scheduled for him after the run-out he had in Poland. They could have put him on the Smith Eubank II card.
I'd love Bakole or Hrgovic to get the fight. It will end up being mental and Dereck or someone though.
I haven't heard or seen him say anything for weeks/months about Martin. He should be on the case right now.
I think Bakole is back in the Congo currently, not sure what training set up he has over there, if any.
Wasn't Joshua rumoured to be fighting McKean before the Franklin fight was arranged? Could see that happening if so though I don't know how much it'll take to pay Hrgovic off.
Because Bakole wouldn't beat Fury. Whereas, Bakole or any half decent heavy sticks it on AJ and there's a good chance AJ folds like the jelly hearted hypejob that he is.
Hence Bakole rushing him and just firing shots off, AJ is scared to death of taking a punch every since Ruiz banjo'd him. If any opponent of Bakole's size just starts throwing the leather at him he wont have a clue what to do. He will fold like a Deckchair he has zero heart or desire anymore he just wants the pay checks.
Bollocks. Bakole is getting the same hype Slow Joyce got. How did that turn out? Anyone under Nelson avoids the top comp. Remember Burns?
