Bakole you mean the guy who ducked Hrgovic twice at least, despite calling him out. Nah, he couldn't even beat Hunter, his best win is Yoka which was impressive until an old Takam and Merhy repeated that feat and exposed just how bad Yoka was. Bakole is nothing special, he has some power but his gas tank and skill set is limited. He was 299lbs in his last fight and has only 4 times in the last 4 years. He's become an after thought and in part it's his own doing. Billy Nelson also talks a lot of garbage, remember when he said Bakole KO'ed Usyk in sparring. Also why would Joyce even entertain such a fight when Bakole's team leaked a short clip of them sparring where Joyce walks through his punches and gets his head gear knocked off and they try to spin that short clip as proof he's got the better of Joyce.
Bakole just like Sanchez has not really faced a top HW. He wont deliver just like Sanchez when he does. Kabayel is the future of the HW division
Chisora is an easier and more lucrative opponent. As people have said Joyce doesn't have long left at the top level so he may as well try and buff out the retirement kitty whilst he can.
Chisora as well as being seen as less of a risk than Bakole by Joyce and his Team,a domestic Heavyweight fight will also bring more money in .
Good call. That’s why is called Professional Boxing. It’s about money. Joyce must really know where he stands now in the World Scene. Cash in while he can.
