    They are obviously scared, only the bounty Hunter has the balls to beat him up.

    From a promoters point of view, Bakole doesn't really offer anything at all does he. By that I mean, he sells little or no tickets, his grasp of the English language isn't or wasn't the best, the causal fans of AJ and Fury won't have heard of him so straight away they're not as interested. It's easier for them to throw Del Boy or such like in there who makes them a lot more money in a simpler fight.

    The only person who's ever seemed to bang the drum for Bakole is Billy Nelson, he's never given up on him.

    It's been a tough slog for Bakole to get where he is now and I don't really know how he gets any further myself.

    Joshua does not want a fight with someone who will stick it on him like Bakole preferring the easy shot Whyte fight. He looks finished mentally and he really should retire before he ends up with a Chisora CV.

    No idea what Fury is thinking about these days but it certainly appears not to be making boxing history fighting Usyk.

    It's a fair point but you don't they are avoiding him do you ? He needs to beat a big name to become relevant

    this version of Joshua probably loses to Bakole thats why. High risk low reward.

    Bakole belted Yoka from pillar to post, all fight long. Yoka is ****, granted but in reality it was a brutal beatdown, **** the BS cards from the judges.

    Yep this version of AJ QUITS against anyone his own size who can hit back, which is why they are feeding him a diet of feather fisted midgets, shot to pieces old bums, and cab drivers so he is still somewhat presentable to sacrifice to Wilders right hand.

    the OLD AJ preferred to feast on midgets and old names, not sure bakole would have ever fit the bill?
