Bakole left the weighing on Friday evening, but he came to Riyadh in time to enter the ring on Saturday. The hurried nature of the fight was emphasized when it became clear that Bakole did not even bring his own pair of gloves.

He was noticed in gloves with the inscription “DDD”, which indicates that they were intended for Dubois. You can only assume that there is not enough time to prepare your own set of gloves, taking into account the compact notification in which he entered.

Bakole did not look at the shape of a fight when he entered the ring and was quickly put away by Parker, who ended the fight with a powerful right hand only in the second round.

Parker quickly attributed to his opponent for accepting the challenge with such a overdue notification before he called Oleksandr Usyk in an interview after the fight.

“Martin Bakole, thank you for accepting the challenge of flying here in a compact time and providing me with a good fight,” said Fresh Zelander.

“I kept serene, structure, composed and won. I am functional, powerful, fit and keen. Andy Lee crashed it for me, I had to be patient.

“How can I fight for the world championship title? He wins in Saudi Arabia. “

Pundit Sky Sports, Johnny Nelson, was impressed by Parker’s clinical show against Bakole and suggested that the rematch with Anthony Joshua would be a good spectacle.

He said: “Any hefty weight will think:” Thank you, you did a favor to us. ” Joseph Parker did what he should do, and this was the only legitimate opponent in which they could get.

“Don’t be surprised if it repeats, Anthony Joshua against Joseph Parker.”

Derek Chisora ​​has gone back on his vow to retire and insists he will return for a rematch with Deontay Wilder.

Chisora ​​was defeated by a split decision by Wilder last month at the O2 Arena.

The 42-year-old, who has fallen twice in the fight, previously announced he would end his 50-fight professional career regardless of the outcome.

However, the Londoner now claims he wants to secure a rematch with the ‘Brown Bomber’ after his wife allowed him to continue fighting.

“I’m working on a rematch,” he said Sky Sports News.

“My wife gave me the green featherlight, so I will do a rematch.

“I haven’t confirmed it yet.

“I have some meetings tomorrow [on Wednesday] and we’ll see how it goes.

“He [Wilder] he is interested because he is also upset about the outcome.

“Yes, he could have won, but he’s nervous, so we’re going to do it again.

“That’s all. [At the] I will retire at the end of this year.”

Wilder was hoping to secure a long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua, whom he called out after defeating Chisora.

40-year-old former world heavyweight champion passed by “AJ” after the fight and told him: “let’s do it.”

However, Joshua, who has not fought since knocking out Jake Paul in December, has opted to fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad and will then face Tyson Fury in November, provided he wins.

Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel stated that Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had not contacted them.

“You can’t be disappointed with something that never happened,” Finkel said Heavenly sports.

“Eddie never contacted us and Joshua obviously had no intention of fighting Deontay Wilder.

“Same ancient story, just fresh date.”

Joshua’s fight against Prenga is his first since defeating Paul and a fatal car crash that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.

Fury, who retired last month and defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov, is now also expected to fight again before finally facing his British rival.

A boxer found dismembered in a river just hours after his first professional fight

Just hours after losing his first professional fight, the juvenile boxer was found dismembered in a river. The remains of Yeiner Andres Gomez Sandoval, 28, were found in the river by fishermen and later identified by his mother based on his distinctive tattoos. A search is ongoing in the area as some of his body parts have not yet been found.

Yeiner lost his only professional fight to Leider Galvis in the main event of the WBA Future Champions Colombia at the Cuadrilatero gym in Barranquilla. He lost by unanimous points decision, his only loss from a total of seven fights. Five of his wins were by knockout.

He spent time with the mother and daughter after the fight and was last seen leaving his home in the Carrizal neighborhood of Barranquilla on Sunday afternoon, Mother’s Day in Colombia.

He was reported missing shortly thereafter, his family was unable to contact him, and his phone was turned off.

Yeiner’s remains were discovered the following afternoon in the Magdalena River, just outside the city of Barranquilla, Colombia.

His mother then identified him by a snake tattoo on his torso, a dragon’s head on his shoulder, his brother’s name on his neck, and a heart on his chest.

Coach Miguel Angel Guzman told Colombian media that he had no knowledge of any threats or personal problems that could explain his death.

Yeiner was viewed as an emerging prospect in his home country and was expected to have a promising career after turning professional.

Investigators are currently reconstructing his last movements and determining the cause of death. For now, they are unable to give him a proper burial because the rest of his remains have not yet been discovered.

His friends and family are calling for justice, although authorities have not yet presented any official hypotheses regarding the murder.
