Martin Bakole came up short against Joseph Parker in the big heavyweight fight in boxing tonight but this from Jake Paul is correct.
Bakole literally took the fight on two days notice and flew to Saudi Arabia from Africa to weigh in for the bout.
Paul on X got a lot of reaction so far tonight with this:
“My man flew commercial flights to show up and fight one of the best in the world. Fair play to his courage but shame on his advisors”
Parker won by brutal two round knockout.
Clearly Parker had put a long training camp in for Daniel Dubois and was in tip top condition, not the case for 315 lbs last minute replacement Bakole.
What a story for Parker though, he continues his resurgence at heavyweight and likely will challenge for a heavyweight title soon when Dubois is back.
