Usyk Reacts To Parker Stopping Bakole

Usyk Reacts To Parker Stopping Bakole

Undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Oleksandr Usyk was a keen spectator of this weekend’s boxing.

The heavyweight division saw Joseph Parker defeat Martin Bakole inside of two rounds.

Speaking to IFL after the fight tonight undisputed heavyweight champion Usyk said:

“Listen, Parker prepared for this fight, yeah. Bakole, I think—no, okay, good, okay.”

Accurate assessment.

Bakole knew going in he had to chin Parker early to have a chance but not withstanding that, his lack of conditioning also effected him technically in terms of his timing and distance, and his boxing.

He’ll be back of course.

Big respect to both boxers.
