Congolese super heavyweight Martin Bakole once again made a loud statement about a possible fight with Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk. He is convinced that he will not only win, but also finish the fight early, knocking out the Ukrainian in the sixth round.
The 31-year-old boxer shared his ambitious predictions in an interview with British media talkSPORT. He noted that the potential match with Usyk will be difficult, but he has no doubts about his victory.
“It’s going to be a tough fight, a good fight, but I’ll knock him out in the sixth round.” – stated Bacole.
The Congolese boxer also expressed confidence in his superiority over other top heavyweights. According to him, he is capable of defeating not only Usyk, but also such famous fighters as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
Martin Bakole has solid professional experience in the ring. During his career, he had 22 fights, winning 21 of them, 16 of them by knockout.
Bakole fought his last fight in August last year, when he knocked out the American Jared Anderson. He hopes that Oleksandr Usyk will be his next victim.
However, the Ukrainian champion, known for his endurance, technique and discipline, is unlikely to leave these words unanswered. Usyk has more than once proven his superiority over formidable opponents, and if Bakole really gets a chance to enter the ring with him, he will have to back up his bold statements with action.
