Turki Alashikh confirms Bakole’s return in May after Parker defeat

Turki Alashikh said that Martin Bakole will still fight on one of his cards despite his defeat in the second round against Joseph Parker last Saturday evening in Riyadh. Hopefully Bakole is entering his next fight in better condition because he looked unfit at 310 pounds in his defeat against Parker.

The saddest thing is that if Bakole had been in good shape, he would probably have mowed Parker, and he would be the only one to challenge the unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for his three belts. It would have been a big salary for Bakole. With hindsight, he should have refused Parker’s fight and looked at the overview.

Can still fight on

# 3 Bakole, a competitor classified IBF (21-2, 16 KB) should fight # 6 Prospectus (20-1, 14 KB) in an IBF heavyweight title eliminator on May 2. Bakole will always be eligible to take this fight. It is not the ideal way for Bakole to fight in an eliminator, but at this time of boxing, he fits.

We see fighters fighting constantly for the titles of the world after being beaten several times. The British companion Derek Chisora ​​is a good example. He was chosen for a title in the world against the former WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, on December 3, 2022, with a 1-3 file in his previous four fights. Yes, it is a bad look for sport, but the promoters, the sanctioned bodies and the networks are good.

“Bakole comes to the kingdom. We will still fight with Bakole in May, ”Turki Aalshikh told the Trample About his plan for Martin Bakole after his defeat in the second round in Joseph Parker last Saturday evening in their co-functionalities fight in Riyadh.

Going against a big punker like the 6’6 ″ Ajagba with a loss with direct elimination is a risky thing for Bakole. If there are still persistent effects of his KO defeat against Parker, Marton will not last long in this fight? Being being knocked out again would flow the career of Bakole, putting it on a pile of scrap. He would always be useful as a test horse, but he can forget to fight for a world title unless one of the champions feels charitable. I don’t see that happening.
