Joseph Parker’s struggle on Saturday evening was uncertain when his planned opponent, Daniel Dubois, pulled out two days before the first bell.

IBF Dubois heavyweight champion suffered a disease that caused a cabinet at the last minute for Parker’s team, as well as the organizers of Saudi Arabia to find a novel pretender for the hotly-ended event of the coefficient in Riyadh.

Martin Bakole is a man who immediately approached the plate. After the fall of the hat, the week of the 31-year-old and potentially changed for the rest of his life.

According to TimesBakole worked demanding in removing arable edges in his native country of the Democratic Republic of Congo when he got a call to fight the Parker. Soon after, he was packed into a plane and flew to the Middle East.

Bakols and his camp have long been complained of that they are one of the most busy fighters in the heavyweight division. In May, he was preparing for the final eliminator against Epe Ajagbie, but with the possibility of competing in his biggest fight in his career, landing on his knees, he took the opportunity to face the Parker on just 48 hours.

“It’s unbelievable” He said. “I think he dreams.

With his bag estimated in the region 1.6 million poundsBakole is also up to date during the bumper’s day. 6 feet 6in lethargic, who has a professional record of 21 wins and only one defeat, was born in Kananga, but in 2016 he moved to the Scottish city of Airdrie.

His trainer, Billy Nelson, was singing his praise Since then. “Martin is by far the best warrior I’ve ever trained,” said Scot. “He is technically fantastic, naturally talented, which makes my work a little easier, but the most crucial part for me is to improve some areas, fight and run it. He is really a quick student. “

Bakole comes from good fights. His older brother, Ilunga Makabu, was the world champion in the cruiser’s weight and fought Tony Bellew and Badou Jack.

Now the bacon is ready to catapult in a great time. Congresses burst with vast arrows, such as Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, while he claims that he caused sedate problems for the man he replaced.

Ryan Garcia returns to the ring in two weeks in Times Square after more than a year after the ring, although he is already looking at great things for the future.

Garcia will take over the polarizing Rolando Romero in the main event Historical New York program, which also depicts his rival Devin Haney, who receives Jose Ramirez as the main support.

And although another duel between “King Ry” and Haney seems almost certain, if both men emerged, the popular Californian admitted that there is one more, perhaps a more hard challenge on his radar.

Philadelphia Christmas, Jaron Ennis added the title of WBA Eimantas Stanionis to his IBF belt after a stunning performance in Atlantic City last weekend, and the Lithuanian corner waved six, one -sided shells.

“100%. Another great fight, another mega event.

“I can’t wait for great competition in the future.

“He [get hit with punches]. I mean, but he is a large boy, so he took them so well, but in this sport he only takes one good. “

Chris Eubank SR tried to stop his tears, discussing the upcoming fight of his son with Conor Benne, claiming that Chris Eubank Jr is only “for money”. Benn and Eubank are to match the Tottenham Hotspur stadium next weekend, including what is described as one of the biggest fights in the history of Great Britain.

But the fight has been criticized, and many, including Eubank SR, suggests that the discrepancies of the mass between the steam are too huge. Benn will have to be promoted from his ordinary division of a 147 pounds to an average of 160 pounds for a competition, and Eubank Jr will have to fall.

Sharing his fears during an interview with IFL TV, Eubank SR explained: “I am so hurt by what he had happened to him, and this is the situation in which my son is now putting in. Connor, they destroy his career if they have not destroyed her yet,” said a boxer when fighting with tears.

“Heritage, long -lasting effect of a specific event, what I and [Nigel] Benn was not a bad language, we didn’t get into the fight outside the studio. Because we had to be noble. It’s a disgrace, if it is not a disgrace that of you, media, will say that this is not a disgrace? Fight me. It’s a disgrace. “

Probably Eubank SR referred to his own fight with Michael Watson in 1991, which meant that the first life -threatening brain. Watson fell in the ring and spent 40 days in a coma before finally regained consciousness.

Eubank SR continued: “We are not a country of peacocks, we are Great Britain, I rest … He [Eubank Jr] I don’t listen to me, I only look at money. What dad does, if a son cannot listen, dad must come and talk directly to the audience. My son will not listen. For him, it is drawn into this “no matter how many millions I can earn.”

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury camp in non -compliance

Published

on

Eddie Hearn is sure that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury will eventually take place – but one source close to Gypsy King claims that “he never fights again.” There are many calls to the appearance of Joshua in the ring against the former heavyweight master, but the fight against many money was more unlikely due to the premature pension of Fury after his second defeat Oleksandra Usyk. The 36-year-old announced that in January 2025 he was moving away from the ring after Usyk retained his WBA titles (Super), WBC, WBO, IBO and The Ring Heavywweight Against Fury.

However, between two British warriors for a long time, and the promoter of Joshuzue, Hearn, believes that this can still happen despite road blockades. BBC Sport said: “This is a kind of fight that is probably made over DM between two, text or connection.

“It’s like” Look, do you feel like? “That’s all.

Joshua and Fury were beaten by Usyk in the past. 35-year-old Joshua has been outside the ring since September 2024 after he was knocked out by the current owner of the title IBF Daniel Dubois. Hearn admitted that although there are no titles to fight, the fight would still be an amazing spectacle.

He added: “None of them are masters. Both are huge names, both in the back room, but more importantly, both are still relatively in the perfect side.

“Before AJ lost to Dubois, everyone said it was the best AJ we’ve ever seen. And the Fury never really showed any signs of falling against Uyek. He was just defeated by the first pound number for the pound.”

However, the former promoter of Fury, Bob Arum, is convinced that Gypsy King will never return to the ring, and this time the retirement is indefinite. Fury retired in his career, but Arum is adamant that his elderly customer has passed the need to fight again.

The American lawyer said: “If I were a man to the plants, I would say that he would never fight again. Marvin Hagler had an expression on his face -” a luxurious guy who goes to bed in silk pajamas, does not get up in the morning to do road work. “

“Tyson, really, I don’t think to get up in the morning and perform road work and undergo an experience of economic training when he doesn’t have to do it anymore.”

Despite the retirement of Fury and the time of Joshua away from the ring, the fans are still calling a couple to lace gloves and face each other. Hearn, however, does not seem to be nervous that this fight happened because he thinks that the defeat of the Fury can end Joshue’s career for good.

He added: “If AJ lost again, [the Fury fight] It is not really. Perhaps his career is not, so we are not in any spy. “

Hearn also rejected Arum’s claims that Fury would not fight again because he claimed that the promoter and boxer “never really had the closest relationships.”

“Tyson looks in great shape. I think he said that one day he trains twice a day, so it would be very straightforward for him to go to a 10-week camp,” said Hearn. “Another AJ decision will be very crucial. I hope it is Tyson Fury – we’ll see what the boxes of boxing allow.”
