Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Ben Shalom promoter told ESPN that “he never fought so quick” Placing Martin Bakole To fight Joseph Parker on Thursday as the slow deputy Daniel Dubois.
Dubois was to defend his IBF heavyweight belt against Parker on Saturday during the Co-Main event along with the rematch of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
But for an unusual few hours in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Dubois fell ill, and the fight with Parker became questionable. With a up-to-date opponent potentially needed, the general director of Boxxer and promoter Bakole Shalom called his warrior, who comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo and organized a fight.
At the beginning of Thursday’s press conference before the fight, Dubois promoter Frank Warren said that his warrior was “assessed” by doctors. Shortly after the Bakole’s press conference (21-1, 16 KO) was confirmed as a replacement.
“Unbelievable, I try to take it,” said Shalom Espn. “We heard about Daniel Dubois’s disease, and then we started to place [Bakole] Forward and I really wanted to fight.
“I was at a press conference, trying to do it, and then I had a few connections with its Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] And it was done.
“It’s amazing, I’ve never fought so quickly.”
Bakole was in Congo, when Shalom called and flew over 2000 miles so that in Riyadh on Friday before he fights with Parker (35-3, 23 KO) on Saturday.
“He didn’t overthrow 1%, then I knew we had to fight,” said Shalom. “He waited for such moments that he didn’t give s — if it’s two days.
“If he manages to do it with Joseph Parker, who comes in his best form, in the best condition to win the title of world champion to do it in two days, he should get a huge loan.
The emotional Conor Benn made a brutal self -esteem of his defeat with Chris Eubank Jr. On Saturday, saying that his performance was not good enough and must do better.
Benn unanimously lost with the result 116-112 on all three results cards for Eubank Jr. In an immediate classic at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.
Both fighters were on their feet at the end of an invigorating clash. While both men showed a lot of heart, Eubank Jr. He finished mighty in rounds 11 and 12 to seal victory.
Benn was clearly desperate after the result was read and was still emotional at a press conference after the fight, where he was difficult for himself.
“It is complex to swallow. I did not enter the fight, thinking that it would be so close,” said Benn.
“I did not come in the fight for losing. Of course I was not good enough and I have to do better.
“It hurts me. Nobody likes to lose. A close fight, no strict fight, you must be strict to each other, and I look at myself and say that this is not good enough for me.
“I want to win a man. I don’t work difficult to lose. I give everything I have.
“I just have to better.”
While the accumulation was deeply personal and malicious between them, Benn regretted Eubank Jr. It’s good after he was taken to the hospital after the fight after the doctors’ recommendation.
Benn said that the fight is so close that he would like to avenge his loss in a rematch.
“Do you know what is complex, it was so close,” said the media.
“It is complex and I just didn’t get a knocking out. It’s painful. If it was as close as people say it, it’s painful.
“I was not outclassed. I was not wounded there. I just couldn’t get the finish.”
Billy Joe Saunders could not enter Chris Eubanka Jra’s wardrobe to check his compresses before his fight against Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London. The former world champion with two Saunders divisions was detained by security when he tried to get to the Eubank JR medium weight room to monitor the packaging of his hands.

Desperate trick?
Saunders wanted to assure it “There is no cheating.” This was seen as a movement to upset his senior rival Eubank Jr. At Benn’s invitation. The point is that Billy Joe checked the packaging of Chris Jra, perhaps forcing him to rewrite several times, would force him to move enough to operate Conor Benn. It was a desperate trick, but she showed how much they want to win. Why the team Benn would bend to this level, since they already get the whole cake from Eubank Jr. for a lack of weight?
For Saunders to agree, he shows that he still has bad blood in relation to Eubank Jr. from their fight in 2014. Although Billy Joe won the fight, Eubank Jr. He looked like a better warrior when he took over the competition against a tired fighter.
Saunders did not fight since he stopped in the eighth round by Canelo Alvarez in 2021. He made millions of this fight, enough to retire and live in a comfortable life.
Saunders in weighty weight
Tonight Saunders showed that the money he earned from Alvarez’s fight. He looked enormous. Some fans on social media estimate that Billy Joe’s weight floats in the range of 300 pounds.
Saunders were talked about who were potentially returning to the ring. He will have to lose weight to make it happen and I have doubts. Loss of over 100 pounds will be extremely complex for Billy Joe, just like for anyone who would try to remove this kind of weight.
