Bakole's team will seek WBA fight with Dubois

Recently there was information about the transition Martina Bakole (18-1, 13 KOs) under the wing of the promotional organization BOXXER, which spends its evenings on Sky Sports. The Congolese currently ranks first in the WBA rankings. And Ben Shalom, his new promoter, announces his desire to obtain from the World Boxing Association the obligation to force his "regular" champion Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) hold a mandatory defense.

“I think the WBA is on the verge of having Dubois make a mandatory defense. Martin really wants this fight, especially since now he is at the top of the rankings. Right now, there is no fighter in the heavyweight division who is more shunned than him. I am glad that we took him into our ranks. Soon Martin will challenge the championship title. This boy will not refuse anyone and will fight with anyone who is offered to him, ”Shalom said.

Bakole defeated 2016 Olympic heavyweight champion Tony Yoka in his last pro ring appearance. But from that moment, that is, from the middle of May, he sat without a fight.
