WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury commented on rumors that Martin Bakole knocked out the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexandra Usika during their sparring.
Fury, who himself sparred with Bakole, said he did not consider the information to be untrue. He is confident that Martin's skills could have been enough to bring down Usyk.
“I can believe it. Bakole is a big giant and he can hit. Martin is a very good fighter. The heavyweight division is the super heavyweight division,” Fury said in an interview with YouTube channel FightHype.
