Martin Bakole thinks Joseph Parker will beat Daniel Dubois in their upcoming fight. The heavyweight boxer shared his prediction based on his sparring experience with both fighters.
Bakole knows a thing or two about the heavyweight division. He's got some big wins under his belt, including victories over Tony Yoka, Carlos Takam, and unbeaten Jared Anderson. He calls himself "the most avoided heavyweight on the planet."
In an interview with Eze Talks Sports, Bakole said:
"I think Parker will win the fight, that's my opinion."
Bakole's prediction comes as Parker and Dubois get ready for their IBF heavyweight title fight on February 22. Both fighters are in top form coming into this match.
Dubois holds the IBF Heavyweight Championship right now. He's been on a roll, stopping Jarrell Miller, Fillip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua in his recent fights.
Parker, a former WBO Champion, has also been doing well. He beat Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang on points in his last two fights.
Bakole's got his own big fight coming up. He's set to face Efe Ajagba to determine who'll be the IBF mandatory challenger. If he wins, he might get a shot at the winner of the Dubois-Parker fight.
The heavyweight division is heating up. The winner of Dubois vs Parker might get a chance to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title. Bakole wants to be part of that picture too, but he'll need to get past Ajagba first.
No matter what happens, it's clear that the heavyweight division is full of exciting matchups. Fans will be watching closely to see how these fights play out.
