Things have got a little crazy this week in boxing on the best card of recent times but we have a fight, alas.
The Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 card this weekend is still one of the best cards of these times, despite Shakur Stevenson’s opponent Floyd Schofield and Joseph Parker’s opponent, IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, both pulling out due to illness on fight week.
Parker has not only got a last minute opponent but a heck of a one now confirmed as Martin Bakole.
The WBO have sanctioned the fight for the WBO interim heavyweight title.
One of the most dangerous fighters in the division and for him to take the fight on such short notice, shows what Bakole is all about.
There will be no pressure on Bakole coming into the fight with little to no preparation at the last minute.
The winner of the fight will surely challenge for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight title later this year.
