Martin Bakole vs Anthony Joshua confirmed for the summer 2025

If him fighting there is such a big thing why has he never fought there in his entire pro career?

 

Prime Fury who got embarrassed by Francis Ngannou? Okily dokily.

 

If you've followed boxing long enough, you know that when a promoter says there will be a big fight in Africa and the year isn't 1974, they are lying.

This is typical for Joshua's career:

Get blown out -> claim a very tough fight is next to "salvage credibility" -> fight a top 50 guy instead

 

This should put all this ****ing nonsense about AJ avoiding Wilder to bed.

 

Bakole has cement feet

Dubois is light in his feet for a HW

Joshua can beat Bakole, he hits hard enough to KO him, let’s remember that Bakole took 10-15 KO blows from a feather fisted Anderson

 

Hard one to figure out this but I won’t believe this fight happens until there both in the ring together. Why Bakole for a lot less money than he could have earned for the immediate Dubois rematch,especially at this stage of Joshua’s career when most fans will think that Bakole will be too dangerous for Joshua . Should the fight happen and Joshua be victorious this would lead no doubt to a trilogy fight with Usyk or who ever may be the champion at that point .

 

Lol at featherfisted. Clearly reality hasn't set in yet, his myth of a run is over, joshua is getting put to bed once he faces another power puncher

 

I assume it's in DR Congo. While I can understand the marketing appeal of Joshua fighting Bakole in Africa, I would have preferred Usyk taking the titles on the road to fight Bakole there.

Still, no complaints if this fight is pulled off. It's a great match-up. Bakole gets a guy he has been calling out for years, and Joshua adds yet another top 10 guy to the resume

 

I`m not interested.

 

When did Hughie beat a top 10 fighter?

 

Bait and switch tactic

 

He`ll be taking on AJ who is a big name.

 

I'm taking AJ

 

Yeah that was the best version of Fury ever, my bad
