Parker welcomes the “Beast” Bakole for Saturday’s fight in Riad

Joseph Parker is quite optimistic when he learns that Martin Bakole is his new opponent for Saturday after FIB heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois became ill and had to be taken from the card in Riyadh.

Parker (35-3, 23 kos) says he wants “challenge” He himself, and he sees #2 wba, #2 wbo, #3 IBF and #4 wbc bakole (21-1, 16 kos) as the type of fight he wants. Boxing fans in social networks are divided over what they think this fight will win.

Force

Many of them believe that Bakole will be out because he is arriving in two days in advance without a training camp. Bakole is always heavy, but for this fight, it may be bigger than usual. In a photo on the social networks of Bakole out of the airport in the Congo, it seemed almost the same as always. So, your weight will not be a problem.

It will be a difficult fight for Parker to deal with the size and power of Bakole of 6’6 ″, since it is very powerful, and will not run out of gas or will be useless as its last two opponents.

“I guess an opportunity disappears and another comes,” said Joseph Parker to TV iflReacting to be told that Martin Bakole is his new opportunity for Saturday night. “Bakole has been waiting for a great fight. So, let’s get it.

“Maybe we can visit this fight again (Daniel Dubois) in the future. I want to be world champion. Bakole is the most avoided heavyweight, but I love to challenge myself. I sat with Spencer and Turki and welcomed anyone. Now, we have Martin Bakole, which is great.

“I will have my chance again at some point, but for now, my approach is in Martin Bakole. It is a beast. We prepared, “Parker said about him that he still wanted to fight for the Title of the FIB against Dubois or who holds it.
