    I'm not sure who would win, but it's a heavyweight matchup I'd like to see!

    Fish Eyes will have his officials support Dubois, but Bakole is a strong fighter.

    So many potential great HW fights to be made.

    So few actual HW fights being made.

    Hurry up Turki.

    I’m right with you there mate. There’s been no action for ages, not just leading into Christmas. Even guys like Pulev, Joyce, Yoka, Franklin, Kossobutskiy, Ajagba, the whole PBC heavyweight stable - what is going on!
    **** Turki

    I want to see AJ get KO'd again personally.

    He can go from protected golden goose flogging bums to unprotected golden goose getting flogged.

    What a weird shades of the early 90's fight that would look like. Dubois reminds me of post-prison Tyson at times (if Tyson were 6'5" and 250), and Bakole is like Old Man Foreman but with a much higher work rate.

    I think Bakole's defense is too lacking and his feet too slow for Dubois but it should be a fun fight while it lasts.

    Wot

    We've had AJ v Dubois and Usyk v Fury this year already.

    Not to mention Zhang v Parker and Bakole v Anderson

    Throw in Joyce v Chisora and Kabayel Vs Sanchez.

    The division is lit.

    Bakole deserves tittle shot, just like Kabayel.


    I would bet my money on Bakole by KO in the first 6 rounds.

    Could be a repeat of Joyce vs Dubois with Bakoles aggression and durability getting to Dubois late on.

    But Dubois seems to be mentally stronger now and has improved significantly since the loss to Joyce.

    Still a dangerous fight for Dubois that I wouldn't like to bet on.

    Rewatch Dubois vs. Hrgovic and tell me what would have happened if Hrgovic had Bakole’s power and strength.

    Dubois vs Bakole would be a great fight while it lasted. Two hittable guys with big power and solid chins. That’s got potential.

    It'll be fun while it lasts.

    Looks a little like Foreman - Briggs
