Martin Bakole (19-1, 14 KOs) challenged almost everyone to a fight, but, unfortunately for him, other boxers are not particularly eager to fight him. Thus, the Congolese may have to choose opponents who are also avoided by others.
Virgil Ortiz (19-0, 19 KOs) will change the weight category and move to the second welterweight. This was announced by his promoter Oscar De La Hoya. The decision to change weight was dictated by the health problems of an American who had problems with cutting to the welterweight limit.
Despite the fact that this information has not yet been officially announced, but according to some media reports, on August 12, a heavyweight fight will take place in London between Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs) and Demsey McKean (22-0, 14 KOs).
