Martin Bakole (18-1, 13 KOs) is a sparring partner of the WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) on the eve of the rematch on August 20 with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs). The Ukrainian is currently training in Saudi Arabia, where this fight will take place.

The Congolese posted a photo with the champion on Twitter with the description: "I am pleased to share the ring with the best, because I know that I am one of them."

Bakola also helped Usyk before the first meeting with Joshua, which clearly helped the Ukrainian beat the Briton on points and take away his championship belts.
