    Great fight between 2 fighters that deserve a shot at a World Title.

    War Bakole

    Would be an excellent fight. Both have styles to trouble each other. I favour Bakole, but would not rule out Kabayel (who is criminally underrated.)

    Bakole is on form, but so is Kabayel, I can see Bakole bossing the early rounds, but Kabayels pressure and body work taking a toll down the stretch.


    Terrific fight though

    Great fight and the winner would rightly deserve a shot at Dubois, which would also be a great fight.

    I think Kabayel beats basically all the heavyweights, barring Usyk and Dubois

    I would have to back Kabayel in this one. He is quicker, smarter, and his bodywork is the best in the HW division; I see him breaking down Bakole down the stretch.

    Cracking fight. Two men who have a fair bit of hype about them with some decent wins but have not yet done enough to earn a title shot so this is great matchmaking as the winner should rightfully get one.

    Styles should mesh together nicely too for an entertaining bout. Be nice if this was on the Usyk Fury undercard.
