“I would like to fight Usyk first. It would be a good fight for me, I would show the world how strong and versatile I am,” said Bakole.

Joshua and Fury? I know them from sparring, just like Usyk. I am not avoiding anyone and would love to fight both Joshua and Fury. Which of these fights will bring in the most money? Perhaps with Joshua, although he is no longer a champion (this Saturday, Joshua will have a rematch with Usyk - ed.). Another thing is that I am not in this sport for the sake of money. They are in second place, creating my boxing legacy in first place, ”added the Congolese.

Recall that Bakole won in May this year against Rio Olympic champion Tony Yoki, which proved that his championship aspirations should be taken very seriously. He is currently ranked fifth in the WBA heavyweight rankings, seventh in the IBF, eleventh in the WBC and fourteenth in the WBO.
